JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- Americans around the world will gather to celebrate this holiday season, in a world you have made safer. Your dedicated service and personal sacrifice ensures their freedom and defends their liberties. Like them, I am thankful for your contributions and devotion to duty.

The gift you give to others is the joy that comes back to you, this
season and throughout the year. You are part of a magnificent team of Arctic Warriors; Soldiers, Airmen, civilians and family members. I am proud to serve alongside each of you and grateful for your dedicated service. Stay safe, be strong, take care of each other, and enjoy the holidays.

Colonel Robert D. Evans
Commander, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson
