DLA Distribution Commanding Officer's Veterans Day Message

DLA Distribution Teammates,

Veterans Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served in our armed forces. Veterans Day is a time to honor the bravery, dedication, and resilience of our veterans-many of whom are part of our very own DLA Distribution workforce.

I am proud to acknowledge the numerous veterans among us who bring their invaluable experience and commitment to our logistics mission. Your service to our nation does not go unnoticed, and your contributions to DLA Distribution are vital to our success in supporting the warfighter and our whole of government customers. The skills and leadership you developed during your military service enhance our operations and help us deliver the highest level of support to those who protect our freedom.

As we observe Veterans Day, I encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by our nation's veterans and their families. Through their service, they have protected the freedoms we hold dear and ensured the continued security of our nation.

Let us remember that our work is a continuation of the mission we all share: to ensure that our warfighters have the resources they need, when they need them, wherever they are deployed. Our logistics capabilities play a crucial role in sustaining our forces and maintaining readiness, and it is your dedication that drives our efforts forward.

Finally, to our veteran employees, thank you for your service and for continuing to serve our country through your work at DLA Distribution. Your commitment to excellence and unwavering support of our mission are truly inspirational.

On behalf of Mr. Knight, I wish all our veterans a meaningful and fulfilling Veterans Day.

Warfighter Always!
