Hello, my friends.

Today on Everyday Patriot, I’m sharing a new list entry: 10 Gulf War Stories We Should Never Forget.

The Gulf War is often remembered through operations, timelines, and news footage — Desert Shield, Desert Storm, SCUD missiles, oil fields, and a fast-moving ground campaign. But history is never only made of events. It is made of people.

These ten service members came from different states, different branches, and different military specialties. Some served in aviation. Some served in medicine, logistics, food service, engineering, or explosive ordnance disposal. Each story is a reminder that military history is also human history.

May their names and stories be remembered.
