It seems hard to believe that a year has passed since Dwe began this journey of a new publication highlighting all things medical, dental, veterinary and public health throughout the peninsula. Thanks to my design team and publisher for without them, this would not be a successful publication. Most importantly, I would like to say Thank You to the PULSE65 readership for taking the time to pick up a copy of our magazine. Throughout the peninsula, the racks are either empty or almost depleted each and every month and for that I say THANK YOU! Continuing on with that sentiment I must take the time this month to say thanks as well as farewell. The highlight of this issue is the 65th Medical Brigade Change of Responsibility Ceremony. It saddens me that a great senior enlisted advi- sor, Command Sergeant Major Todd Garner, whom I have come to respect and enjoy working with Children & Scholarship & Veterans Legislation National Security & will depart the “Pacific Medics” team.
