“I think maybe the Air Force has been certainly among the most adaptable parts of our national military instrument of power. Every Service has made some adaptations, but I would suggest [that the Air Force’s] seems to me, in my experience to be most prominent, most visible, most important.”
— Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, USA
“Friday, September 18, marks the United States Air Force’s 68th birthday, a day we celebrate the independence of our Nation’s youngest Armed Service. As we reflect on the rich and proud heritage of our Air Force, it is fitting that we recognize the incredibly talented and diverse men and women who serve today, and honor the pioneers, innovators, and warriors of yesteryear.”
