Thank You

As many of you "post" today your thanks for what families like ours sacrifice for the freedoms you enjoy, I am humbled.  It is comforting to know that there are people who appreciate and understand the sacrifices we make to support and protect the freedoms that all of us enjoy and love so much.  I have had no greater honor in my life then to know someone who is as devoted to serving our country as Nate is.  So, today I thought I would share with you what he lives by, believes in, and holds true in his heart.  He is our Airman and we love him.

The Airman's Creed

This is the Airman's promise to country and colleagues.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.
I AM A WARRIOR.
I HAVE ANSWERED MY NATION'S CALL.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.
MY MISSION IS TO FLY, FIGHT, AND WIN.
I AM FAITHFUL TO A PROUD HERITAGE,
A TRADITION OF HONOR,
AND A LEGACY OF VALOR.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN,
GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE,
MY NATION'S SWORD AND SHIELD,
ITS SENTRY AND AVENGER.
I DEFEND MY COUNTRY WITH MY LIFE.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN:
WINGMAN, LEADER, WARRIOR.
I WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AIRMAN BEHIND,
I WILL NEVER FALTER,
AND I WILL NOT FAIL.
 
To all of the families who have served before us, thank you.  To all of the men and women who have given you life for ours, thank you.
 
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
