This Memorial Day we celebrate our nation’s hard won freedoms and honor the men and women whose sacrifices made them possible.

Whether you spend your Memorial Day weekend with family and friends, enjoying a hobby, or just relaxing, please take time to reflect on the individual sacrifices that were required to shape the nation we enjoy today.

I truly appreciate your hard work and the tireless efforts spent developing needed capabilities for our Air Force and joint partners.

I wish you and your family an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend and a safe start to the summer season.
