DLA Distribution Commander delivers Thanksgiving Day message

By DLA Distribution Public Afffairs

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I am reminded of how thankful I am to be part of such an extraordinary organization. Your sense of duty, commitment, patriotism, and dedication to providing support to our men and women in uniform across the globe is unmatched.

When you come together with family and friends this holiday, please take a moment to think of those who will not be with their loved ones this year; those who are serving around the world. Each one of you can be proud of the profound difference you make knowing that our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Guardians and Coast Guardsmen are well supplied with the provisions and tools to do their job.

Many of us will take time during the holidays to help our fellow Americans in need. Whether through donations, volunteering to serve a hot meal, taking care of a neighbor who has no family, or collecting clothing for those in need this winter; the DLA Distribution family is always charitable, always there helping others – that’s who we are, that is what makes this organization so special.

Mr. Knight and I are thankful to have such an outstanding workforce who gives of themselves every day for our men and women in uniform.

Best wishes to you all for a Happy Thanksgiving!
