Puzzle Notes

Greetings Friends!

"To be brief is almost a condition of being inspired" ~George Santayana

Given this week's puzzle theme, it's only fitting to be brief and to the point. (Did I detect a collective sigh of relief from readers who have been spared the usual claptrap from the puzzlemaker?) Let's proceed to the puzzle!

Welcome to Week 541 of Crossword Nation. We humbly invite you to solve "Military Briefs" as your latest challenge.

Have a good week and thank you for subscribing, and for re-upping this month. We are elated that you're here with us at Crossword Nation.

Until next time, I remain . . .

Cruciverbally yours, 

Liz
