The Air Force perspective

Thanks for the opportunity to be here with you today. It's an honor. It's an honor to look out on a crowd like this and see mentors and friends. It's an honor to be here with folks from Central Florida, the ROTC Detachment.

It's an honor to be here with the wonderful, wonderful people of the Air Force Association who have never failed the active Air Force, the Total Force, have never failed any of the endeavors that the United States Air Force is involved in. So it's just great to be here.

I would like to chat with you about what this conference is about and what the core

discussions are about today and that's this notion of interdependence. But let me talk to you about that from my perspective of what does that mean relative to the contributions of an air and space force? That's how I'd like to address some comments with you.

A lot has happened since we were together six months ago. A lot of things have gone on. We've had some interesting challenges on the Gulf Coast with bad weather; we've had some interesting challenges in South Central Asia with some earthquakes; we're still fighting in Afghanistan; we're still fighting in Iraq; doing business in the Horn of Africa; doing business in the Pacific. We've still got 700,000 plus of the finest Americans on the face of the earth involved in activities with the United States Air Force.
