3/15/2012 - JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- In 2007, the first local Army Family Covenant was signed in the Fort Richardson Post Theater, which was a promise to support Soldiers and their families.
As we have become Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, this commitment is no less.
We stand side by side with Army Maj. Gen. Raymond Palumbo and Command Sgt. Maj. David Turnbull to fulfill those promises to provide Soldiers and their families with a quality of life equal to their service and sacrifice.
We are a nation which has been at war for more than a decade, with Arctic Warriors
on the front lines sacrificing to serve this great nation.
We will serve, with the same commitment, to support families who are enduring many hardships and are no less critical to mission success than our Soldiers serving in harm's way.
Never before in the history of our military have we asked so much of our families,
who endure constant hardships and still provide unconditional love and support, making our service members strong.
I want to express my deep and sincere appreciation for all military families sacrificing every day in support of our great nation.
Keeping our JBER families strong will ensure we are Arctic Tough and Mission Ready.
Arctic Tough, Mission Ready and Family Strong!
