The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict that began in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition that overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein. The Combat Action Badge (CAB) is a United States military award given to soldiers of the U.S. Army of any rank and who are not members of an infantry or special forces unit, for being "present and actively engaging or being engaged by the enemy, and performing satisfactorily in accordance with prescribed rules of engagement" at any point in time after 18 September 2001.

You've done your time. You can kick your feet up, close your eyes, and let somebody else deal with the problem, but you won't. You won't because you can't. There's something ingrained in you. You have to protect. It's why you became a LEO in the first place and, even though your contractual obligations are over, it will never leave you. You, more than most, understand that it's a dangerous world out there, so you never close your eyes. Whether you?re at a new job or relaxing at home, you're always aware of those dangers, and you have taken small precautions to be ready for any crisis that may arise. The others will remain complacent, you won't. Your time in uniform is over? But your watch never ends.
