 As January 2021 comes to a close, it's worth taking stock of the historic events over the past three weeks and highlighting the words of the Joint Chiefs that pertain to our responsibilities as members of the profession of arms. Last week, we witnessed the 46th presidential inauguration and history was made as it is every four years. On January 12th, the Joint Chiefs signed a memo in reaction to the violence at the Capitol on January 6th, and Admiral Gilday sent the message to every officer, sailor, civilian, and contractor in the Navy. I've quoted part of their memo here for all of us to continue to reflect on as we start the week. The American people have trusted the armed forces of the United States to protect them and our Constitution for almost 250 years. As service members, we must embody the values and ideals of the nation. We support and defend the Constitution. To our men and women deployed in at home, safeguarding our country, stay red, keep your eyes on the horizon, and remain focused on the mission. We honor your continued service and defense of every American. Lead well this week.
