- On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives and more than 6,000 were injured at the hands of terrorists that infiltrated our homeland. Today marks the 11th anniversary of those barbaric attacks.
Our Armed Forces and other elements of national security continue to diligently work in eliminating these terrorist threats and networks who wish to bring harm to innocent people around the world.
We will never forget what occurred that fateful day on our nation’s soil and we will forever honor the thousands of civilian and military men and women who died protecting and defending our nation.
We Will Never Forget,
SEAC - The SEAC met with Airmen from the 86th Airlift Wing at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sept. 4, as part of his tour of United States European Command. This visit gave the Kaiserslautern Military
Community the opportunity to show the SEAC the strategic contributions of the joint forces within the KMC. - I encourage you to turn to Page 12 of the September edition of the NCO Journal where it features an article on "Hazing."
SMA Raymond F. Chandler III and I discuss the importance of leaders being part of the solution and not part of the problem as it pertains to taking care of our service men and women.
Please click the attached link for the complete NCO Journal. http://www.dvidshub.net/publication/issues/10907 - Dear Total Force,
September is designated as Suicide Prevention Month. While this month recognizes “prevention,” just as important are two other phases: "intervention" and "postvention." All three phases are intertwined, and I encourage all enlisted leaders and spouses throughout the Total Force to increase our awareness not just this month but every month throughout the year.
Service members, military families and veterans -- remember the acronym N.O.W.
No problem is ...too big that should drive someone to use suicide as a solution. We’ll find a better way and we can do it together.See More
Outreach for help is literally a finger-tip away. Whether it's pushing a button on a telephone, knocking on the chaplain’s door or texting your team leader, assistance is readily available.
And finally, We care! We clearly recognize that as members of this professional organization you have committed to our nation and we are committed to you!
Stay Fit, Stay Strong, Stay Resilient!
SEAC - Presidential proclamation honors Astronaut Neil Armstrong
The flags flown at half staff Friday, Aug. 31 at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall and around the world will be to show respect to Neil Armstrong who died at age 82 Aug. 25.
To honor the memory and celebrate the accomplishments of Astronaut Armstrong, President Barack Obama has signed a proclamation declaring all U.S. flags to be flown at half staff on land and half mast at sea on the day of his interment.
Armstrong is the first person to set foot on the moon. There will be a private funeral service for him Friday, Aug. 31 in Cleveland, Ohio. - Today is the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Team USA consists of 227 athletes, including 20 veterans and service members, from 42 states to include the District of Columbia.
Over the next 11 days will be back to bac...k competition. I ask each of you to cheer on our national team as they demonstrate their athletic talent and tenacity.
