IMCOM HQ's annual holiday luncheon December 9 was marked by a special emphasis on the importance of the Command's work to families -- large and small. In remarks to the HQ staff, Commander Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch applauded the Command's support for Soldiers and Families and recognized the hard work of uniformed and civilian personnel. "You can read history or make it," Lynch said, "and what you do is as important as what our Soldiers are doing walking the streets of Baghdad or the fields of Afghanistan. You provide our Soldiers and Families a quality of life equal to their service."
Lynch said that the holiday season is a time of renewal for the IMCOM team, which must carry out its mission "surrounded by tragedy" during a time of war and in the face of personal losses. "You've got to keep focused on family," he explained, "not just the Army Family, but your own families. The holidays are a time to focus on reconnecting with the families and friends we love and to tell them how much we appreciate them. In the end, we are known by how we focus on our families."
