CLEVELAND, December 22 – The following is a Holiday message from BLET National President Don M. Hahs:
On the behalf of the officers and staff of the BLET, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all BLET members and their families a safe and happy holiday season.
The holiday season is a time of family celebration for many of us, but it is important to remember that not all BLET members will be able to be at home for the holidays with their families. While we wish that all BLET members would have the opportunity to spend the holiday with their loved ones, we salute the sacrifice of those who are required to work on these days, as well as other holidays throughout the year, in order that our transportation system functions smoothly.
We also must take the time to salute the sacrifices of the men and women of the U.S. military. These brave men and women are willing to sacrifice their lives for us, and I ask you to keep them — and all veterans — in your thoughts and prayers.
We have been very fortunate this year and it is with great optimism that I look forward to 2007. Happy Holidays!
