Seventy three years young
the air force, has given me
everything
four decades of service.
It started out with an
education then gave me a
profession over my shoulder, you
see an F 16
that was my office
for almost three thousand hours
and I have taken that airplane
just about everywhere.
I mean it has been absolutely
wonderful,
but the other things it also
allowed me to do weighs to raise
a family
and then, when I joined the
National Guard to pursue a
civilian career and then
probably the most important
thing is we delivered air power
around the world.
I have sat down with presidents
and kings and discussed what it
means to be an ally of America
and then, finally, I got to tell
you I wouldnt be doing it
today, except for the amazing
airmen.
It allowed me to lead amazing
airmen
its been a wonderful career.
