The campaign is timed with the holiday season and seeks to promote greater understanding of the impact of service.
The feature story for the #WhyIServe launch focuses on a county sheriff's deputy from outside of Seattle, Washington. Deputy Ricardo Cueva shares his inspirational story, explaining why he tries to help his community as a police officer. Other stories include local heroes from Washington, DC to Dallas, Texas. More stories can be found at whyiserve.co.
