Honoring Veterans today. 🇺🇸
We want to thank you, Veterans, for your service. We are grateful for your courage and commitment.
We want to thank our own Dr. John Maxwell, who served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army.
"I was assigned to a Civil Affairs Battalion (416th CA BN). I provided limited care for military working dogs, but my primary mission was supporting civil-military operations. The goal of a civil affairs unit was to establish conditions for a peaceful transition to a civilian government at the end of an armed conflict.
My significant accomplishments included: helping the local veterinary college establish a comprehensive library, setting up a soil testing lab for the Ministry of Agriculture, securing drought-resistant wheat cultivars donated from Texas A&M, and launching a public health campaign to prevent Brucellosis."
Thank you, Dr. Maxwell, and all Veterans, for your service to our country.
