 Hi, I'm General Joe Martin. I'm your 37th Vice Chief of Staff of the Army. Because of the events that occurred over the past couple of weeks, I've received several messages from the field about the pain and hurt we're feeling in our formations. Recently, I took the opportunity to sit down with my squad and talk about their backgrounds, their experiences, and how they feel about what they see unfolding before their very eyes across our country. After some real talk and even some tears, we reassured each other that we would get through this together as a team so we could continue our duty to protect our nation. I want you to meet my squad. Lieutenant Colonel Sean Balt, Miss Scoot, Illinois. Sergeant Judy Luna, Huntington Beach, California. Sergeant First Class Nina Caluya, Port Huron, Michigan. Sergeant First Class Craig Blair, Hamilton, Ohio. Landy Flowers, Petersburg, Virginia. Sergeant First Class Miguel Cabello, Brooklyn, New York. Major Rich Farnel, Fort Pierce, Florida. Chief Warrant Officer 5 Tina Rendome, Alamosa, Colorado. Major Jake Teplusky, Buffalo, New York. Staff Sergeant Jessica Smith from Huntington Beach, California. Major Eric Buckner, Edmond, Oklahoma. Lieutenant Colonel Marisol Chalas, Lynn, Massachusetts. Staff Sergeant Jonathan Fox, Prescott, Arizona. Major Doug Morton, Cincinnati, Ohio. Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Taylor, Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Colonel Bernie Harrington, Queens, New York. To all leaders out there, if you haven't done so already, I encourage you to grab your support and sit down and have some real talk to better understand their experiences, their backgrounds, and just how they feel about what's happening right now. I sure did. This is your opportunity to get to know your soldiers better and the key is to sit down and you just listen. This is my squad. Who's your squad?
