To all of you with whom I’ve flown in the past; my thanks for your camaraderie. 

 

To all who went before me, thank you for your mentorship and paving the way. 

 

To all who follow me, thanks for carrying the torch ever forward.

 

And to all who have served, are serving, and will serve, my thanks and the thanks of a grateful nation.

 

TSgt Paul G. Canape, USAF (Ret)
