Hanscom Airmen
build relationships during USAFA trip

command comments ... ... It’s your sense of service -- answering your country’s call, volunteering in a time of war knowing that you could be sent into harm’s way. That's a sense of responsibility on your part -- the belief that the blessings we cherish as Americans are not gifts that we take for granted, they are freedoms that are earned. And it’s your sense of unity -- coming from every corner of the country, from every color and every creed and every faith and every station -- to take care of each other, and to serve together, and to succeed together, as Americans. So I’m here to say to all of you, all of you who serve, all the families who are here: Of all the privileges I have as President, I have no greater honor than serving as your Commander-in-Chief.
