I just wanted to drop a quick note to all members of the extended military family: active duty personnel, veterans and those who stay behind to keep the home fires warm.
Thank you.
To those on active duty, I say thank you for your continued service. Many of you signed up knowing full well that there are two shooting wars going on. That takes a special kind of guts. Your performance in defense of freedom continues to be an inspiration to me, personally. Thank you.
To all the veterans, I remind you that your service and sacrifice have not gone forgotten. Whether you served in war or in peace, you had a hand in keeping America safe from some of largest threats in history. You also, by your very existence, kept other dangers from materializing. Thank you.
To those at home, I commend you for your strength, your love and your commitment. You do your best to keep the bills paid, the kids happy, the life moving forward. Like all things military, it can be a thankless job. Most importantly, though, remember that without you, there is nothing for our men and women to come home to. Nothing to protect. Nothing to serve. So, thank you and may your loved ones return safe and soon.
Although it’s been a long time since I’ve worn a uniform outside of a studio lot, I am proud to have served with such wonderful Americans. Please remember that you’ll always have a friend in Hollywood.
Semper fidelis,
J.R. Head
