"Twice the Citizen"
The citizen-Soldiers - carpenters, teachers, house-wives, doctors, engineers and others - who make up the Army Reserve's 2,000 units drill in 1,500 Army Reserve Centers located in communities throughout the country. During weekend drills they hone their military skills so that they are ready for their first mission, defending the nation. They also contribute to their communities. When they collect and distribute food and clothing for the homeless, help with outreach programs for veterans and participate in Habitat for Humanity projects, they are giving back to the community and fulfilling their roles as good citizens.
