Each year, Military Times — which publishes Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times — pays tribute to the top servicemember from each branch, including the Coast Guard. Honored as “everyday heroes,” each selectee has demonstrated pride, dedication and courage beyond what’s normally expected.
