Sir,
You bring great honor to your position and the GAF in your reports and endeavors. Despatches always give the reader a better understanding for what is really happening. We all appreciate your candor, your service to your Country and that you have accepted the responsibility to do what others of us cannot.
To that end, I salute you Sir!
