Happy Thanksgiving, Task & Purpose readers.
From all of us here at T&P, thank you for your continued support and for the trust you place in us every day as we report on America’s military and those who serve in it. Covering the military and veteran community is a privilege, but we also have an obligation each time we write a story. As journalists, we have an opportunity to ask questions of those in leadership positions that those in uniform (particularly at junior levels) cannot.
