There are many reasons to be merry this holiday season. Ensuring your loved ones enjoy themselves responsibly is one of the most important ways to keep that merry feeling into the new year.
That is why the Fort Belvoir Army Substance Abuse Program would like everyone to embrace the spirit of sober driving this season. December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month.

Col. Joe Messina, Fort Belvoir Garrison Commander and Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Garth Newell were on hand at the 16th Annual Mount Vernon / Springfield Chamber of Commerce event, Nov. 17 at the Hilton Springfield Hotel, as the chamber honored exceptional first responders from across Fairfax County.

Dozens of veterans, family members, supporters and Fort Belvoir leaders gathered Thursday to express gratitude for the sacrifices made by veterans.
Hosted at the Cold War Memorial on the base's Long Parade Field, the invocation was performed by Chaplain Maj. Marlon Brown, and Col. Joseph Messina, the garrison’s commander, presented the opening remarks.
