(NAPSI)—More than 30 million Americans have served in the United States Army. If you or someone you care about is among them, you can now order a personalized, commemorative brick that will be permanently placed along the pathway to the future National Museum of the United States Army.

During the investigation, law enforcement seized approximately four ounces of heroin and one firearm. Continue reading
