We all decide to serve our nation in our own personal way, and I so appreciate the commitment of those of you who serve in the Naval Reserve. I am a strong believer in service, and I stress this wherever I go. I think in the 90's we may have started to forget that what we in the military do is really all about service. We cannot lose this.
Reservists make an extra effort balancing service, family, and a civilian career.
To all of you, I say thank you. And I hear every day from the operators that they rely more and more on the support they receive from our Naval Reservists. I cannot tell you how many times I have been in situations, working with Reservists, that I just didn't realize that the individual was actually a Reservist on active duty.
