"As many of us see it, service isn't loud. Service is what happens in the quiet and when people aren't looking. It's about how we take care of each other every day. It's about the camaraderie we share … the laughs, the comfort, the pain, the challenge, and yes, the banter," Harry said.

He continued, "My experience in the military made me who I am today, and I will always be grateful for the people I got to serve with – wherever in the world we were."
