    Private Wesley, Congratulations to You and your fellow troops for the accomplishment of completion of Basic Training.

    I recall the long ago morning runs up Tank Hill and the learning of teamwork and of personal and self-discipline which remains with me today.

    May you have a very safe and successful career in the United States Army.
    Thank You and thanks to all who have and do serve this Great Nation.

    You are indeed a true example of America’s Best.
    Salute
