"A year ago today, we were engaged in a year-long celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Air Force," Chief McKinley said. "We looked from our heritage to our horizons. Today we find ourselves in that horizon. True, this future finds us still a nation at war,  but we are warriors. We have answered our nation's call and we will accomplish this, and every mission, with competence and pride.
