Happy Thanksgiving from Chief Johnson, DHA Senior Enlisted Leader

Posted on Updated on

Teammates, 

As we head into the season of Thanksgiving, I want you to know how thankful I am for all you do.

Everything we’ve accomplished in 2024 – and everything we’ll accomplish in 2025 – is because each of you make a choice every single day to show up and do the hard work. Even if we can’t always stop to say thank you, the Director and I see you and know we’re successful because of you.

The holidays can be complicated for many people, so please take time to care for yourselves, your families, and your loved ones. Check in with anyone you think might be struggling and find ways to make a connection, whether it’s turning your camera on during a Teams meeting or asking someone to grab lunch or a cup of coffee. Continue to show up for each other – we’re all in this fight together.

To those who can’t make it home for the holidays: you have my thanks for your sacrifice and dedication to duty. To our Gold Star Families and all who mourn the loss of loved ones: you’re in my thoughts and prayers.  

The work you do matters to so many. I’m proud to serve alongside you today and every day.

From my family to yours, wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving.

With gratitude,

Chief J
