SUBJ: 78TH BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE
1. Congratulations to the United States Air Force on your
Birthday.
2. For seventy-eight years, the Air Force has stood as
America's shield in the sky, a testament to innovation,
unwavering vigilance, and unmatched airpower. More than just
marking another year, this anniversary celebrates a legacy of
global reach, technological dominance, and the relentless
pursuit of excellence that defines every Airman.
3. The Air Force's commitment to rapid global mobility,
precision strike capabilities, air superiority, and
information dominance has been vital to safeguarding our
nation and our way of life. The Air Force's unwavering
dedication and ability to "Fly, Fight, and Win" ensures that
America remains secure. Like the Coast Guard's dedication to
maritime security, the Air Force's mastery of the skies
ensures freedom of operation and action across domains.
4. Today, we honor the pioneers who dared to dream of flight,
the dedicated Airmen who stand watch around the clock, and
the innovative leaders who continue to push the boundaries of
what's possible. Your commitment to Integrity First, Service
Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do resonates far beyond
the flight line, inspiring confidence in our nation's ability
to meet any challenge. On behalf of the United States Coast
Guard, I extend our best wishes to the United States Air
Force on your 78th Birthday. We are proud to serve with you
as part of the Joint Force.
