Major General Michelle Link shares a heartfelt message with the Soldiers and civilians of the 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command.

In honor of Veterans Day, Maj. Gen. Michelle Link commanding general, 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command, expresses her gratitude for all who served in America's armed forces.

Soldiers from the 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command played a critical role in testing advanced aviation and autonomous systems at Experimental Demonstration Gateway Event 24, a high-profile Army exercise aimed at modernizing air capabilities for future battlefields. Through direct collaboration with industry experts at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, the Soldiers provided frontline insights to refine these cutting-edge technologies, bridging the gap between concept and real-world application.

“I don’t want the interview today to be about me. I was a combat engineer, but I was not in the infantry,” explained Wayne Kern, a retired special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation who now volunteers at a military retiree office, co-located with the 85th U.S. Army Reserve Support Command. “There’s a difference. I give more credit to the guys that were at the tip of the spear. We were behind them. I’d like to give you the names of some other people I thought were worth knowing in Vietnam.”
