Veteran's Day thank you message from the wing commander Published Nov. 12, 2009 By Col. Robert Thomas 92nd Air Refueling Wing commander FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. -- As Veterans Day approaches, I'd like to take some time to say "thank you" to every member of Team Fairchild for your unwavering service and dedication to our great nation. You make sacrifices daily for the sake of serving America and your fellow citizens. So on Veterans Day especially, I'd like you to take some time to pause and remember those that have served before. They paved the way for us by fighting to protect our freedoms. They left us a legacy which we continue proudly. Additionally, I'd like to thank the families of our Airmen. Without your support, the mission could not be accomplished; your support is the key to our continued success. Thank you all for your tireless service, dedication and commitment to the world's greatest Air Force, and the United States of America.
