Continuing the legacy

Gen. Robert H.


***image1***On Veterans Day, we take time to acknowledge and honor America’s heroes – the men and women who currently wear and have worn the uniform in our country’s defense.

As we pause to pay respect to our veterans’ service, we are reminded that they represent the courage and dedication that are the cornerstones of liberty. It’s with a deep sense of gratitude that I thank all veterans for their commitment and service. Without you, our nation wouldn’t have the freedoms we enjoy today.

Veterans have served our nation in both war and peace and many have paid dearly, physically and mentally, during their service. Today, we continue to build on the legacy of those who served before us.

This legacy is visible as I travel and talk with the great men and women of USAFE. We appreciate your dedication, professionalism and focus which ensures continued mission success.

From supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom to humanitarian operations in Europe and Africa, you are performing the hard and dangerous work required to bring peace and stability to the troubled spots of the world.

To the veterans, thank you for the legacy of excellence you have given us. Your service and dedication to our nation and to the ideals America represents are second to none!
