Appreciation
A Special Thank You From Col Jason Camilletti
As a military spouse, you are the backbone of our community. You help make the Air Force a family not only by taking care of your Airman, but also by caring for your friends, neighbors and community as a whole. It is important to pause and take a second to remember the service and sacrifices of you, our military spouses. Thank you for your contributions to our Air Force and nation.
TSgt Michael & Tierra Patterson Tierra, I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. You are such a great role model for me and the kids. Your drive to better yourself through education and your amazing ability to adapt to the constant changes from this military lifestyle remind me just how lucky I am to have you in my life. I appreciate how hard you work to take care of our family, and how hard you push me to strive for more in
