By Order of the Secretary of the Army:
ERIC K. SHINSEKI
General, United States Army Chief of Staff
Official:
merica has always been a land of
dreamers, from its Founding Fathers
to its space scientists and explorers.
Our forefathers once dreamed of a
nation where personal freedom was a
reality.
Our space scientists and explorers
once dreamed of walking on the moon.
Both dreams came true, of course,
but it took a lot of hard work and
perseverance to make them come true.
And while the dreamers were busy
turning their dreams into reality, our
Army’s equipment maintainers and
suppliers were doing their thing to
ensure that the dreamers would have
a chance to succeed.
Today, we have other dreamers at
work, striving to develop new weap-
ons and tactics for tomorrow. But until
they succeed, we’ve got to survive
with our current weapons and equip-
ment.
That’s where today’s reality hits
home. The condition of your equip-
ment and weapons today will deter-
mine whether there are any tomor-
rows for our dreamers.
Consider that the next time you put
on your boots and head out to the
motor pool, maintenance shop or sup-
ply room. Preventive maintenance is
real, it’s vital and it must be done—
today.
TO achieve
THE DREAMS OF
TOMORROW
, WE MUST
REMEMBER THE
REALITIES OF
today
.
