Honored to Serve is designed to help educate and inform WETA viewers about the people in the armed forces and their families, past and present, and to provide a deeper appreciation of U.S. military history. Rather than viewing them as "a force apart," these interstitials help citizens recognize soldiers and their families as part of a common family with shared values and goals as a nation.
