LEADER

"We cannot predict what tomorrow will bring and our country will not ask us if we are ready. They will expect us to be ready and we will meet that expectation. As we face the many challenges that lay ahead, there will be good days and there will be days that aren't so good. But together, we will continue to make a difference, each and every day for our Soldiers and Families."
