I tell anyone I can how absolutely critical it is that we, the public, recognize the Reserve as the key operational force it is, the backbone of our country's defense, and the reason why America's defense can remain an all-volunteer force. That's why, at the mid-winter ROA conference in DC, I really enjoyed getting to meet so many Reservists who do an amazing job juggling their Civilian with Military lives. I got to catch up with my friend LTG (ret) John Bradley who recently retired as Chief of the Air Reserve and is now working on an important foundation with his wife Jan... it's called the Lamia Afghan Foundation ...they're doing a great work. I'd love to hear from any of you who are Reservists! Hey, and send me a picture I can publish. Thanks!
