Focus on the future

Darrick Lee started as a Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps to become a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force.

While I'm proud to have served in the United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force, I recognize that my time in uniform was just one chapter -- not the entire story -- of my life.

In honoring hashtag#veterans this hashtag#veteransday, I hope my sisters and brothers in arms find purpose and peace as they explore new chapters.

Respect the past.

Work toward and look forward to the future.
