Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Members, Associated, and Auxiliary! This season, I am especially thankful for the shared bond and ‘esprit de corps’ that unites us. It is an honor to serve alongside you.

Your unwavering dedication courage, and selfless service to our nation have secured the freedoms we cherish and gather to celebrate.

Your commitment to service didn't end when you took off the uniform. You continue to strengthen our communities as mentors, leaders, and advocates, embodying the values of loyalty, duty, and honor. I am grateful for your continued dedication to supporting each other and our nation.

May we remember those who have gone on to eternal rest. Their example of leadership, benevolence, and dedication should never be forgotten.

Last, but not least, let us not forget those who remain in harm’s way, for they continue to fulfill the same oath you swore. May all of our families continue to enjoy the sacrifices made by everyone who has ever worn the uniform of the United States.

I pray your holiday be filled with peace, warmth, and the camaraderie you so richly deserve. Happy Thanksgiving!

Semper Fidelis!
