This month our team will share one of the oldest military traditions—a New Year’s Reception! For more than one hundred years, military custom called for soldiers to travel to their headquarters to greet their commander at the beginning of the new year. In the post-Civil War era, particularly for the horse cavalry in the American West, this might have been the only opportunity during the entire year when commanders were able to physically see their soldiers. The tradition evolved into a formal receiving line and reception, where the commander and spouse would greet members of the organization, senior leaders, and community members. Commanders would typically host receptions in their home, and invitees would bring calling cards.
It’s finally 2021, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are glad 2020 is in the rearview mirror.
Just because the year has changed, though, does not mean the trying circumstances of the past year have relented. Last year brought unprecedented hardships across all walks of life, and those challenges to our health, economy, and way of life will persist for the foreseeable future.

Happy New Year! I know many of us have been waiting to say those words for quite some time. With our lives upended in 2020, it’s a relief to see hope on the horizon for an end to the global pandemic. Not only can we start to look forward to normalizing our daily lives, but this is an optimal time to start planning for the future.
