This year the United States Air Force celebrated its 66th birthday! To commemorate this milestone, Hanscom Air Fore Base {where we currently call home} decided to throw a formal Anniversary Ball in the base's Aero Club Hanger.
Fancy dresses.
Spiffy uniforms.
Special presentations.
Catered dinner.
Cheesecake.
Dancing.
Sore feet.
good night.
My handsome date, Lt. Daniel Langston
My beautiful neighbors!
During the night's presentations, as is tradition at Air Force functions, all those in attendance were asked to recite the Airman's Creed:
I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.
I AM A WARRIOR.
I HAVE ANSWERED MY NATION'S CALL.
I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.I AM A WARRIOR.
I HAVE ANSWERED MY NATION'S CALL.
MY MISSION IS TO FLY, FIGHT, AND WIN.
I AM FAITHFUL TO A PROUD HERITAGE,
A TRADITION OF HONOR,
AND A LEGACY OF VALOR.
I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN,
GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE,
MY NATION'S SWORD AND SHIELD,
ITS SENTRY AND AVENGER.
I DEFEND MY COUNTRY WITH MY LIFE.
I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN:
WINGMAN, LEADER, WARRIOR.
I WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AIRMAN BEHIND,
I WILL NEVER FALTER,
AND I WILL NOT FAIL
This creed serves as a powerful reminder of all the Air Force stands for and the commitment of the men and women who proudly wear its uniform. In moments such as these I could not be more proud to support my airman and all that he has committed to.
The Fenway ladies!
HAPPY BITHRDAY to the world's greatest Air Force. AND thank you to all those past and present who have served and protected this great Nation. For the sacrifices of the service members and their loved ones. For the heritage left behind, and for the freedoms I enjoy every day as a result of the sacrifices you have made I thank you.
I'm looking back through this post again, and I honestly cannot get over how beautiful you look (and how handsome D looks, of course). I know you guys had a great time!
