Serving as a member in the U.S. Military is one of the greatest sac-
rifices that an American can make. Not only are soldiers placed in 
dangerous circumstances, but they also must make a gigantic sac-
rifice in regards to their families. As a result, the U.S. government 
has always attempted to help reward service member families with 
financial benefits in order to compensate them for their sacrifice.
