A Message from the Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs

Posted on Updated on

Dear Colleagues,

On this 81st Anniversary of the Normandy invasion, I wanted to share a brief note of thanks for all you do.

In MTFs across the globe, our team is easing suffering and saving lives, welcoming new beginnings and providing compassionate care during life’s final moments.

I talk about the importance of strengthening our chain. Today serves as both a solemn and proud reminder of the strength of our collective purpose. The sacrifices made by so many Americans in France, and throughout history, resonate with our own commitment to freedom. Like an invisible guidon, we carry their legacy and represent their values.

In praying for peace and preparing for war, we honor those who sacrificed everything.

I know your days are frenetic and the work can seem unrelenting, but please take a moment today to reflect on the significance of our Mission, the sacrifices of those who precede us, and the Honor of sharing in such a proud tradition.

Very respectfully,

Steve

Stephen Ferrara, M.D.

Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
