Although military children are courageous and resilient, they face challenges, according to Bill Harrison, superintendent of schools for Cumberland County, N.C., home of Fort Bragg. |
|
|
Helping those committed to the rule of law
As lawyers, we need to free service personnel from anxieties related to legal questions to allow them to focus on their work. It is only fitting that we do so since we expect so much from them, says Bill Neukom, ABA president. |
