NRA Life of Duty recently released a Patriot Profile on Navy SEAL Chief Adam Brown.

One thing that could always be said about Adam is that Adam was wild. Always willing to push himself when trying something adventurous and new, Adam is a classic example of a true American hero. A man of unyielding courage and faith, Adam Brown lost his life while serving our country in Afghanistan.

This week on NRA's Life of Duty Network, we take a look at 3 Echo 9; the men and women who serve as U.S. Air Force Emergency Management Specialists. These are the people who gear up in the Level A HazMat suits to take care of everything from major aircraft accidents to the ever-present threat of an offensive biological warfare.

"My wife doesn't have any fears about what I do," explains TSGT David Yeo, an Air Force Emergency Management Craftsman. "If something was going to go wrong then it was going to go wrong whether I mitigated it or not."

It's difficult to explain all they go through to prepare for these incidents. For a better understanding, click here to see the trailer and link to the full 3 Echo 9 video event.

How do you come to terms with the dangers involved in your spouse's job? When there's no one else to talk to, no one who can understand, it's the spouses of our service men and women who face their own private battles here at home.

NRA Life of Duty provides a look at those struggles in this Valentine's Day week video. See more on their website at www.nralifeofduty.tv.

NRA's Life of Duty recently took a look at the exploits of Jim Allen, a World War II paratrooper wounded at Market Garden in September of 1944. After successfully leading his comrades from a would-be ambush, Allen was hit by a grenade. Recovering over time, Allen eventually joined one of the first group of American Smokejumpers based out of Okanogan, Washington.

Read the full story, titled "Under Fire Over Fire," in the latest edition of American Warrior magazine.

The NRA's Life of Duty website serves and supports those who support and defends the safety of the American people. Specifically, it's made for the ones we count on to defend for our freedoms every day.

This month, Lt. Colonel Oliver North takes a special look at the 115th Combat Support Hospital in the Helmand Province, Afghanistan. As Colonel North reports, 95% of those who make it off the evac chopper are living today ... that says a heck of a lot about the men and women running that operation.

Take a look for yourself at the NRA Life of Duty's Welcome to Frontlines with Lt. Colonel Oliver North.

The team over at NRA's Life of Duty reminded us about their special Veterans Day video from Walter Hughes .

In World War II, Walter was an 18 year old paratrooper who jumped out of planes and behind enemy lines. In this exclusive Veterans Day tribute video, Walter shares his experience from the Battle of the Bulge - the largest and bloodiest battle for American forces in WWII.

Chapter 3 of ODA 574 on NRA Life of Duty on NRAblog

To paraphrase from the original announcement, NRA Life of Duty is made for those who make it their business to protect the rest of us by strapping on a gun. Police, military, anyone who has a hand in looking after the public ... that's who the NRA had in mind when creating Life of Duty.

Constantly updating the site with both the interesting and exciting, Life of Duty just posted another video chapter on the activities on the Special Forces team of Green Berets known as ODA 574. Based on Eric Blehm's The Only Thing Worth Dying For, ODA 574 headed into mountains of Southern Afghanistan in November of 2001.

When you have a moment, give Life of Duty and ODA 574 a look ... you'll be hooked in no time.
