Thank you to all, for your service, sacrifice and commitment,” the caption read. “It has been an important week to recognise those who serve (and have served) as well as to acknowledge their families.”
Sussex Royal highlighted Meghan’s USO trip writing that the Duchess “proudly went” on the tour with then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey. During the holiday tour, the Suits alum visited troops in five different countries—Spain, Italy, Turkey, Afghanistan and her future home, the United Kingdom—where she met with service personnel and their families. Sussex Royal added, “She was proud to recognise their service to the country.”
