Christmas 1976
TO THE MEN AND WOMEN
VETERANS OF THE ARMED FORCES
In this season of peace and goodwill,
Americans are especially mindful of the
sacrifices of those fellow citizens who
have served in our Armed Forces and
defended the freedom we cherish.
On behalf of all your fellow countrymen,
Mrs. Ford and I wish you and your loved
ones that same peace and tranquility in
your own lives which, by your patriotic
service, you help ensure in our national
life.
We join in the hope that 1977 will bring
you and your families great joy, happi-
ness and the growing satisfaction that
comes from knowing how very much your
fellow citizens admire your past valor
and appreciate your continuing contri-
bution to our national security and
well-being.
