 Happy holidays to our entire Army both here in the United States and overseas on the frontiers of freedom. Thank you for everything each of you do day in and day out to keep our Army ready and to keep our nation safe. And to our family members what our soldiers do on a daily basis would not be possible without your continued dedication and support. During the holidays it is important to reflect on the importance of family and spending time together. Please take advantage of the holiday season. We want you to know that you and your families are truly appreciated. For those of you away from home please take care of each other. Thank you for all that you do. We hope you have a quick and safe return. Each of us here thanks you. Every single soldier, civilian and family member with your commitment to our nation and to our Army which makes us the most capable and lethal fighting force in the entire world. From our family to yours, happy holidays and an Army's drive.
