Dear Brothers and Sisters:

I want to invite you to join me and the ATD staff in acknowledging our military veterans and their families on this Veterans Day. Our military forces proudly carry a responsibility and dedication to country that few posses. Their job is fraught with danger and looming calamity at any given moment. Last week’s horrendous attack on our soldiers at Fort Hood was a tragedy that no one could have imagined. The massacre of unarmed innocents clearly confirms the dangerous world we live in.

If not for these brave men and women, our country would not stand as the pillar of democracy that we are. Freedom isn’t free and we should remember that. In honor of all our veterans please remember to fly your flag today. Thank those you may know personally with a smile and a warm handshake – they deserve it.

Fraternally,

John M. Conley
International Vice President
Director Air Transport Division
