WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- I am truly thankful for each of you and your families. I appreciate the sacrifices you make each day to keep our Nation safe.
As you enjoy time with your families on Thanksgiving, please remember and pray for our fellow Airmen who are currently deployed and away from their families.
Thank you for all you do.
- Col. Raymond A. Smith Jr., 445th Airlift Wing commander
