I’m glad I had the opportunity to speak to several military journalists at the Military Reporters and Editors Conference today. Military reporters have a vital role in telling our story: the good, the bad, and the ugly. They keep us connected to communities at home and around the globe, and they often help us see ourselves and keep us honest. Thank you for the work you do.
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey
