Mr. President-Elect,
Congratulations on your hard-won victory in this historic election. As they say, now the really hard part begins.
We published the following as an open letter to the next Commander-in-Chief on 13 June and believe it remains sage advice.
The Honorable Robert M. Gates must continue on as the Secretary of Defense in your administration.
Our Nation and Armed Services require his leadership and a continuation of the policies he has set in motion.
Thank you for your consideration and again, congratulations,

As a regular reader, but one who seldom posts, whose son is home from a third deployment, and preparing for a fourth, please let me say that this is a fine letter. Thank you.
