candor as he works to continue to Break Barriers and Build Bridges. So too are the achievements of our brothers chronicled in this issue exemplifying the theme of the 34 th Administration. Lt. General Charles Hamilton is the 47 th Deputy Chief of Staff of the United States Army. See page 38. United States Marine Veteran Demetrius L. Harrell Jr., (Eta Phi 2022) ascends to the highest levels of student leadership in Texas. See page 34. And, General Michael E. Langley becomes the first Black four-star General of the United States Marine Corps. Brother General Langley is featured on the cover of this season's Journal . See page 28. We focus on his poignant ceremony remarks. Among the points he makes during his promotion ceremony remarks is that "sometimes challenges harness oppor- tunity." His remarks are poignant and his exhortation of "those who have gone before" bear remembrance. With call- outs of Dr. Frederick C. Branch and General Daniel "Chappie" James, Jr., he shows how those exemplars of leader- ship impacted his path. Indeed, each of these achievers high-
lighted in this issue are exemplars of leadership who embody achievement. We also highlight the longevity and work of our chapters. See pages 10 (Miami (FL) Alumni) and 17 (Xi Chapter) respectively as well as the work of outstanding brothers who were initi- ated into Kappa Alpha Psi through Xi, such as Grand Board Member Robert L. Jenkins, Jr., Esq. See page 21. They have served as exemplars of leader- ship and as the late, great Dr. Ralph J. Bryson used to say, "Let the work I've done speak for me." Their work contin- ues to edify the communities they serve. We hope you enjoy this survey of their work accordingly.
