Hello everyone, and thanks for checking out the Nov. 6th issue of Nellis AFB / Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! Our lead story this week focuses on Veterans Day, coming up Wednesday, Nov. 11. Now more than ever, it seems important to take this time to come together in unity and appreciation for the service and sacrifice of military personnel, past and present – and, by extension, to give thanks for the providential events in the history of our nation that have enabled us, and our allied partners, to overcome adversaries and advance the values of democracy and freedom. Even in these challenging times, America remains a symbol of freedom and opportunity throughout the world. Let’s take advantage of Veterans Day as an opportunity to express gratitude and give thanks, as we move into the holiday season of one of the most challenging years our generation has faced.

Here are some more highlights from this week’s issue of Desert Lightning News:
