Maj. Gen. Gary J. Volesky 101st Airborne Division Commander
Fort Campbell, KY – Fort Campbell Teammates,
On September 1st, our Nation will celebrate Labor Day to honor the hard work and service of our citizens who make our country the greatest country on earth.
The dedication and commitment of each of you, the service member, the civilian and the Family member, is an integral part of maintaining our Nation’s Freedom.
Labor Day also provides us our last long weekend of the summer. Many will travel to be with Family and friends and enjoy those activities we often associate with the end of summer.
Take advantage of the warm weather for a long motorcycle ride, one last trip to the beach or a neighborhood barbeque.But whatever activity you choose, do so with the same attention to force protection and risk management we would do on a deployment.
I want each of you enjoy your much deserved time off this coming weekend. Remember the same principles our comrades in harm’s way are using equally apply here at home.
Remain vigilant, have each other’s back, and leave no one behind. Each of you is a critical member of the Fort Campbell Team.
My thanks to each and every one of you for what you are doing for this great Nation, our Army and our community.
Air Assault!
