On Friday, we celebrated and honored Lt. Col. (Ret) Bill “Shortfinger” Schwertferger’s 50-year anniversary of his repatriation from Vietnam.

American Royalty, Air Force Royalty, Warrior Royalty!

An outstanding summit with outstanding leaders that want to get things done, together. We secure our future and win as a Total Force.

I'm physically saddened yet spiritually at peace by Ch. Dan Brantingham’s passing, AMC’s Cmd Chaplain 2018-2021. I'm blessed to be 1 of thousands who is better in every regard due to his kind touch. 33 years of US Air Force service & an eternal servant of God. Thank you Brother.

AMAZING visit this past week at Air University Maxwell AFB. Wherever their paths take them next, I know these elite leaders will serve well.

Of all the things that have adorned my uniform, the most honorable ever is Arlington National Cemetery Dirt. Earned the 5th of May, on bended knee, honoring Hall Team Six. Arlington National Cemetery

Humbled to spend time w/our civic leaders & Chris Locke, SL24: UnLocke the Light & Sean’s House founder. They are championing mighty mental health initiatives for #Airmen to help eliminate stigma, lower barriers & increase access for Airmen. #Warriorheart #EliminateTheStigma #SL24

79 years ago, today 156,000 Allied forces landed in France and began the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany. Today, as we mark this turning point in WWII #DDay79 , we reiterate our commitment to safeguard and, if necessary, defend our democracies from authoritarian.

Thanks for being a great wingman, Chief BK! Best of luck at USTRANSCOM

CMSgt Newman, you are about to lead the best #Airmen in the world - we're looking forward to challenging the status quo with you.

I was lucky to have Loadmasters as part of my aircrew my entire career. The countless leadership lessons they taught me is part of who I am today. Thanks for inviting me to speak at your “Gathering of the Loads” event and teaching me a few more lessons. loadmasters.com

This WWII/Korea vet, Capt. Floyd Brantley, chose to serve instead of finish HS after losing his brother at Guadalcanal. He told me, “you never know, until you’re in another country how great America is.” Sir, I’m proud to share a uniform with you!

Chaps reminded the AMC Staff to remain magnanimous [look it up!] today. I can’t think of better advice as we finish another hard, successful week. #WarriorHeart #ProudtoBe

Happy 76th, Air Force!
