Vet News: Statement by Secretary of Defense Ash Carter on the Navy Reserve Centennial

At the start of the year-long celebration of the United States Navy Reserve Centennial, I want to congratulate this great American institution for 100 years of distinguished service in defense of this country.

In every conflict since World War I, our reserve sailors have served with courage and distinction, making vital contributions to the history of the Navy and our nation.

That tradition continues today. I thank each of our reserve sailors and their families for their service and sacrifice. And I thank all the civilian employers and communities that support our reservists.

The men and women of the Department of Defense celebrate the Navy Reserve's heritage this year. We salute the reserve sailors serving around the world today. And we commend the Navy Reserve for being ready always.

The Dick Van Dyke Show WeSalute Awards CelebVet: Dick Van Dyke “I'm looking for work if anybody has,” joked the now 100-year-old comedian and entertainer Dick Van Dyke. Best known for his iconic roles in films like Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and the classic television series The Dick Van Dyke Show, the beloved actor has officially joined the centenarian club. Van Dyke celebrated his 100th birthday on December 13, a milestone marked not by a lavish Hollywood gala, but in true Van Dyke fashion: with a low-key day at home watching Jeopardy! reruns with his wife, Arlene Silver.
