The red carpet is beginning to be rolled out, the band is warming up and the only thing left is for us to show up. I will be at the front gate waving folks in, welcoming them to Scott and pointing to where our building is located. With that said, look out Scott AFB--the Army is on it's way!

Lastly, be safe--not just as you travel over the Christmas and New Year's holidays but in all you do during them also. Safety is an important part of what we do to ensure we maintain readiness. Safety is important because you are important to us--in fact, you're family. So from my family to my extended SDDC family, enjoy the holiday season and I look forward to serving with you as we bring in 2007!
