As I prepare to retire after the honor of serving as your Adjutant General, I am compelled to express my deepest gratitude to each of you—the Soldiers and Airmen of the Indiana National Guard—and to your families who stand steadfastly by your side.

Your commitment to service, your willingness to sacrifice, and your unyielding resolve are the very foundation upon which our state and nation rest. You are the shield that stands between good and evil, oppression and freedom. It is through your vigilance and sacrifice that we sustain this democracy and preserve the freedoms we so deeply cherish.

Our nation calls upon you in moments of crisis, both at home and abroad, and you always answer with professionalism, courage, and excellence. You have upheld the highest traditions of the National Guard, embodying the values of duty, honor, and selfless service. I am humbled to have witnessed your unwavering dedication firsthand and to have served alongside such extraordinary individuals.

To your families, I extend my heartfelt thanks. Your sacrifices, too, are immense—sharing your loved ones with the state and nation is no small burden, yet you bear it with grace and resolve. Your support makes our mission possible, and we are forever indebted to you.

As I take my leave, I do so with confidence in the future of the Indiana National Guard. I know that with your continued service and steadfast dedication, our Guard will remain a cornerstone of our democracy and a beacon of hope in times of need.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to this noble cause. It has been the privilege of my lifetime to serve with you. May you continue to uphold the legacy of excellence and honor that defines the Indiana National Guard.

God bless you, your families, and this great nation.

Maj. Gen. R. Dale Lyles
The Adjutant General
