Soldiers, NCOs, Warrant Officers, and Officers,
As we approach this Thanksgiving Day, I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for each one of you. Your commitment, discipline, and resilience reflect the highest standards of military service. Each formation plays a critical role in our mission — from our newest Soldiers to our most experienced leaders — and your daily efforts do not go unnoticed.
This holiday reminds us to be grateful for the blessings we often overlook: our families, our health, our purpose, and the privilege of serving this great nation in uniform. Whether you are celebrating at home or supporting the mission away from loved ones, your sacrifice ensures that others can enjoy this holiday in safety and freedom.
Take this time to rest, enjoy the moment, and take care of yourselves and your families. Stay safe, remain vigilant, and return ready to continue our mission with the same level of pride and professionalism you show every day. I am honored to stand among you not just today, but every day.
Steady, disciplined, and always ready.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.
1SG Browne
