  • Keep Cleveland Dfas
    DCN: 12218 Cleveland KEEP CLEVELAND DFAS June 23,2005 DCN: 12218 AN URGENT MESSAGE FOR - GENERAL LLOYD W. NEWTON Dear General Newton, Good morning and welcome to our home. Your visit today is of the utmost importance to all of us. Over a thousand of our fellow Clevelanders are clocking in at the DFAS-Cleveland office as you read this. They are our friends and neighbors. Their families are here; their homes are here; they pay taxes, contribute to churches and charities, and buy goods and services here with their DFAS paychecks. Their jobs are good jobs, and the salaries they earn ripple through the Greater Cleveland community and help make it stronger for all of us. And as you know, the millions of paychecks they process at work make America stronger. Our Cleveland DFAS office makes sure paychecks get into the hands of millions of our country's military and civilian personnel, retirees and arlnuitants all around the world. Many are fighting for freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan this very moment. Relocating our office during wartime will impact U.S. military payoperations everywhere, disrupting operational efficiency and customer service. Many of our DFAS-Cleveland friends who you will meet today helped pioneer best practices of the larger DFAS organization. Be- cause of their focus and dedication, our DFAS office is a Reserve Pay Center of Excellence as well as a world center for Navy payroll services and personnel data management. We are not boasting, we just want you to know how hard our friends work and how commit- ted they are.
