"You have a great responsibility. People serving in the military have to be ready mentally, physically, and spiritually. That's one-third of it right there. And if that's missing, I see catastophe. It's a very rigorous responsibility taking care of the spiritual part of it. And actively taking care of it," says retired USMC Major General James J. McMonagle.

COB SPEICHER, Iraq – Arkadiusz Ochalek grew up playing soccer in Sztum, Poland, as a way to forget about the pressures he faced from the Soviet Union, which ruled his nation.
"The Russians took everything from our countries and gave it to Russia," he said. The usurping of supplies led to families all over the Soviet Union having to wait in long lines for the most basic necessities, like food and clothing.
