Miss Jane Smith,
By the time you are old enough to read this letter, the print will be faded and the paper will be yellowed. However, it is with great pride and pleasure that we welcome you today as the newest member of the Red Lion family. Your Father is a member of the 308th Brigade Support Battalion on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, an Army unit responsible for providing supply and maintenance support to the 17th Fires Brigade. The 17th Fires Brigade provides Artillery Fires via rockets and towed artillery in support of operations around the world.
Your Father’s dedication to preserve the American way of life requires him to be ready to go anywhere at any time. There may be times he has to go away to support our Nation’s call, but always know he loves you dearly. It’s that sort of dedication and selfless service that allows us to remain the greatest Nation in the world. Without Soldiers like your Father, and his warrior spirit, we would not enjoy the freedom that we do today.
Your Father is very important to the success as a Company and a Battalion. He is a great Soldier and you have every reason to be proud of him. Your Mother is just as important. The strength she provides at your Father’s side makes all of us stronger. We are committed to caring for our Soldiers and Families, because people are the Army.
Congratulations on becoming our newest ”Red Lion.” I speak for every member of the command when I say we are pleased to have you in our ranks.
