Airmen and Guardians,

It has been an honor serving you and your families as the Acting Secretary of the Department of the Air Force these past four months. Thanks to your tireless efforts, our Air Force and Space Force remain well positioned to support our national security objectives and deliver results.

Before I move on, I want to thank each and every one of you for the incredible professionalism you have displayed. During this transition, you have stayed calm, executed the mission, and moved the DAF forward. I am extremely proud of you, and I look forward to seeing how you will continue to accomplish great things in the future.
