U.S. Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll has published a memo titled “Just Pick Up During the Holidays” that is truly a great read and should be followed by every other military branch. The Holidays is a great time for many, but it’s also one of the hardest times of the year for many Servicemembers. Be sure to check on your Battle Buddies Squad, Squadron, and Shipmates during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, you never know what someone may be going through until it is too late.
