Every one of us is connected through our service to our nation. Many of us are brothers and sisters in that service and our bond was often formed through the crucible of war.
Many of us were inexorably changed during the course of our
service. Each of us faces challenges beyond what life would typically deal to any one person. It is within each of us to find the strength
and courage to carry on and continue to grow and serve, each in our own way.
We can though find that strength and
support from each other. Watching each other's back as we have been trained to do, and do so willingly as any brother or sister in any
family would do.
Through our mutual support and encouragement we can surmount any obstacle that lies in our
way.
