Letter to Airmen focuses on core values Published Feb. 14, 2006 SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) -- In his latest Letter to Airmen, Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne focused on the three core values of the Air Force: Integrity First, Service Before Self and Excellence In All We Do."These core values should reflect the values we share from the moment we take our oath to support and defend the constitution," he said. "We must continue to reflect on these values, linked to that oath.""In his Letter to Airmen, the Secretary links the core values to the oath, our heritage and our heroes," said Rabbi Arnold Resnicoff, special assistant to the Air Force secretary and chief of staff for values and vision. "He makes the strong point that integrity is not something that we either 'have' or 'don't have,' but something we build, day by day." "The core values become the basis for our ongoing discussion of what it means to be in the Air Force; what it means to take an oath to the constitution; what it means to be on the front line of defense -- of our nation and its freedoms, said Rabbi Resnicoff.This Letter to Airmen and other senior leader viewpoints can be found in the Library section of Air Force Link.
