NORFOLK -- Ensuring national security is the responsibility of all Americans, not just those in the armed forces, Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Alford L. McMichael said Tuesday.
And while the military carries the fight to the enemy, American civilians can do their part to keep the nation safe by being productive in their daily lives, by being the best they can be as students, educators, bankers, captains of industry, and any other vocation, McMichael said in a speech at Norfolk State University.

``Every citizen is making a contribution,'' McMichael said.

``Everything we do to make ourselves good citizens is a contribution to the national security of this great nation.''
