A Letter from Philip: Communication As we enter the holiday season, one of the first holiday’s we honor is Veteran’s Day. With the service and commitment that our veteran military members gave, and our Active Duty residents continue to give, the above quote is an appropriate selection for this occasion. I also appreciate the nod it gives to those who serve in support of the service branches, and that includes the incredible team we have at Lincoln Military Housing. October saw our teams celebrate our Maintenance staff, who work as the front line to deliver on our mission of exemplary service, though it takes all of us working in concert to make that mission a reality for our residents. 2017 saw everyone continue to elevate their performance to meet the daily challenge of supporting the over 36,000 military families who start and end each day in a home that we provide and service.
“Honor to the Soldier, and Sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor also to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field, and serves, as he best can, the same cause — honor to him, only less than to him, who braves, for the common good, the storms of heaven and the storms of battle.”
– Abraham Lincoln December 2, 1863
Be sure to take time this holiday season to be with your friends and family and find some much needed balance. – Philip Rizzo Vice President of Operations Philip Rizzo is the Vice President of Operations for LMH and is responsible for the overall management and daily operations.
