FORT BENNING, Ga., (Jan. 15, 2014) -- This holiday weekend, let us remember the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We can honor Dr. King's memory through our commitment to equal treatment of all. If and when we encounter injustice, we must speak up and act against all forms of inequality and prejudice.
