# DLA Distribution Commander delivers Memorial Day message

By DLA Distribution Public Affairs

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa.  –              
DLA Distribution Teammates,

As Memorial Day draws near, I ask each of you to give pause and reflect upon the sacrifices of the men and women who gave the last full measure in the service of our great Nation.  

More than 50 million Americans have served in our armed forces from the time of the American Revolution to the present and of that number, over one million perished fighting for the values we so tightly hold – courage, character, duty, and sacrifice.

When thinking of Memorial Day, I recall the words of our former President, Ronald Reagan, who said in part, “...And if words cannot repay the debt we owe...surely with our actions we must strive to keep faith with them and with the vision that led them to battle and to final sacrifice."

Many of you will spend time with your family and friends this weekend.  Take one minute of silence to honor our fallen heroes at 3:00 PM local time, 29 MAY as part of the annual National Moment of Remembrance to remember those who have died in military service to America.

Whatever you plan this extended weekend, please include safety at the forefront of all you do.  Mr. Knight and I thank you for everything you do to keep our Warfighters supplied.  We are proud to be part of this great team...there are truly none better.
