Some stories simply tell themselves, and the service of the Hernandez brothers is one of those stories (with appreciation to BRIANNA LUSK of the Imperial Valley Press for bringing their story to us):

Two brothers already in the Army and a third has just enlisted. The American spirit is varied and inspiring, and thankfully, often, all we have to do is take notice and offer our thanks and gratitude.
And here's what the newest enlisted Hernandez, Robert, has to say about service: “They say, ‘Why are you putting a price tag on your life?’ and stuff like that. They don’t get it. It just makes me stronger. It makes me realize I’m stepping it up."
