The Partnership for Public Service has announced the 33 finalists for this year’s Service to America Medals (SAMMMIES). Among them is Charles Milam, the principal director for military community and family policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He’s credited with improving the lives of millions of service members, by instituting programs that help the deployed stay in touch with loved ones. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to review the programs he helped create, and the ones his department oversees. View a photo gallery of all the Sammies finalists.
