WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley have sent this Thanksgiving message:
“Thanksgiving is a special day for Americans to gather with family and friends and appreciate all our nation has to offer.
“Whether fighting the Global War on Terrorism, providing disaster relief around the globe or defending our country here at home -- Airmen cannot always be with their families at this special time. However, the American people are truly thankful you are on the front lines, defending our rights and freedoms.
“Because of the skill, hard work, dedication and sacrifice of our Airmen -- active duty, Guard, reserve and civilians all -- America is safe.
“For that service and dedication, we are thankful. We are thankful for each of you who serve, at home and abroad. We are thankful for the support your families give you -- allowing you to make the U.S. Air Force the best in the world.
“We’re incredibly proud of you and your families. Happy Thanksgiving!”
