SUBJ:  72ND BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE
1. The men and women of the United States Coast Guard join me in wishing the
United States Air Force a Happy 72nd Birthday.
2. From the earliest days as the aeronautical division of the United States
Army Signal Corps, to the creation of the Army Air Force, to your establishment
as the United States Air Force, you have always answered our Nation's call.
In every conflict since the beginning of flight, you have lived your mission
to fly, fight, and win.
3. Just as you provide security for our nation by providing air, space, and
information dominance, you provide for those in need through search and rescue,
critical care air transport, and disaster and humanitarian relief. For 72 years,
the men and women of the United States Air Force have put integrity first, placed
service before self, and shown excellence in every endeavor.
4. Happy Birthday and Semper Paratus.
5. ADM Karl L. Schultz, Commandant, sends.
