Chapter 16: Acknowledgments

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge and thank all the men and women who have served in the military, both past and present. Your bravery, dedication, and sacrifice have made the world a safer place, and we are forever grateful.

I would also like to thank the families and loved ones of those who have served. Your support and sacrifice are often overlooked, but they are no less important. Thank you for standing by your loved ones and for being there for them through thick and thin.

I would like to thank the first responders and healthcare workers who have been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Your selflessness and bravery in the face of such a challenging and unpredictable situation have been truly inspiring.

Finally, I would like to thank the readers who have taken the time to journey with Captain Takahashi and her team. I hope that their story has entertained and inspired you, and that it has given you a greater appreciation for the sacrifices made by our military men and women.

Thank you all.
