Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley and Air Force Chief of Staff

Nearly 2,500 years ago, Greek philosopher Aristotle knew that excellence
isn’t an act but an every day event. Today, the 4,000 men and women of

50,000 Americans across the KMC and across Europe. 

Established by President Harry S. Truman in 1949, Armed Forces Day is a

wear the uniform, but to also serve as an opportunity for the services
to showcase the diversity of jobs we perform every day.

Osama bin Laden is dead, but al-Qaida is still dangerous, CIA Director
Leon E. Panetta said Monday in a letter to the agency

in the KMC. The sunshine and longer days give us all the impulse to get
outside and be active with our families and friends.
