Thank you to all that serve

A few years ago during a internal company presentation our team at Military & Aerospace Electronics described what we do as "covering the technology that helps protect those who protect us." By "those" we mean the men and women who make up the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. Thanks to all of you for your service.

The sacrifices our military personnel make today in Iraq and Afghanistan and those made by veterans of past wars are very humbling. It has been an honor to cover you and get to know many of you during the 14 years I've covered the defense industry.

On behalf of my colleagues at Military & Aerospace Electronics I wish you a Happy Veterans Day. Please know you are appreciated.
