MEMORANDUM FOR ### MSG/CC
FROM: ### ARW/CC
SUBJECT: Letter of Appreciation
1. It is with great pleasure that I convey my sincere appreciation to your
personnel for their
superior performance and extraordinary dedicated efforts regarding
###th Air Refueling Wing
Chain of Command on Saturday, May 1st, 2004
at the Fuel Cell. By all measurable
standards,
this ceremonial event exceeded all expectations and set a precedence of
excellence for all to
follow.
2. Comments received from distinguished visitors and special guests were most
favorable and
confirmed my thoughts pertaining to the professional and highly effective manner
in which the
change of command was planned and executed. I understand and appreciate the
long, hard hours
of work and preparation to correlate the myriad of details necessary to ensure
the success of this
event. This demonstration of exceptional skill and resourcefulness in
coordinating all major
tasks was nothing short of superior. Said one World War II veteran, “I was moved
to tears today
as I watched with great pride the professionalism, the precise execution and
commitment to
excellence exhibited by all those who participated in this memorable event”.
That says it all.
3. In almost 30 years of service with the Air Force, I have not seen a better or
more patriotic
event. I felt a deep and profound sense of pride as I watched the flawless
execution of this
memorable event. It is only befitting that we recognize those who performed
their duties
brilliantly and made such a lasting impression upon all those who attended.
Please take the
earliest opportunity to recognize those individuals who made a contribution to
the success of the
Wing Chain of Command Ceremony. I will always remember this event with great
fondness.
Thank you for a job extraordinarily well done above and beyond the call of duty.
FIRST M. LAST, Colonel, USAFR
Commander
