This We’ll Defend – The Rivera family’s Army legacy
Defense Logistics Agency
June 12, 2025 | 8:26
Though "This We'll Defend" has been the U.S. Army's motto since its founding in 1775, for Army Col. Matthew Rivera it also holds a personal significance, representing three generations of service to the U.S. Army.
Rivera currently serves as the deputy director for Network Integration at Defense Logistics Agency Distribution.
