00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,833
(Christmas music)

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,191
^- Hello, I'm General Ellen Pawlikowski,

3
00:00:09,191 --> 00:00:11,633
^Commander of Air Force Material Command.

4
00:00:11,633 --> 00:00:14,447
^Once more, the holiday season is upon us.

5
00:00:14,447 --> 00:00:17,703
It's the time of year to enjoy the spirit of the holidays,

6
00:00:17,703 --> 00:00:21,529
and spend time with family, friends, and other wingmen.

7
00:00:21,529 --> 00:00:24,096
It's also a time to look back on what

8
00:00:24,096 --> 00:00:25,972
we've accomplished throughout the year.

9
00:00:25,972 --> 00:00:29,762
In AFMC it was another great one as we continue

10
00:00:29,762 --> 00:00:33,185
to deliver and support agile war-winning capabilities

11
00:00:33,185 --> 00:00:35,829
for our forces around the world.

12
00:00:35,829 --> 00:00:39,783
And you, the men and women of AFMC, made it happen.

13
00:00:39,783 --> 00:00:41,945
In my travels around the Command,

14
00:00:41,945 --> 00:00:44,266
I'm continually amazed at your talent.

15
00:00:44,266 --> 00:00:46,874
It's your hard work that makes our Air Force

16
00:00:46,874 --> 00:00:48,707
the best in the world.

17
00:00:48,831 --> 00:00:51,524
I've said it before and I'll say it once more.

18
00:00:51,524 --> 00:00:53,516
When America calls on our Air Force,

19
00:00:53,516 --> 00:00:55,849
our Air Force calls on AFMC.

20
00:00:57,604 --> 00:00:59,423
^- And let's not forget, especially this time of year,

21
00:00:59,423 --> 00:01:02,146
^our AFMC people, both military and civilian,

22
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:04,674
^who are deployed to nations around the world.

23
00:01:04,674 --> 00:01:06,308
Most won't be home during the holidays,

24
00:01:06,308 --> 00:01:08,874
and we need to keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

25
00:01:08,874 --> 00:01:11,248
^- The holiday season is time for reflection,

26
00:01:11,248 --> 00:01:14,664
^but also time for hope and renewal in the year ahead.

27
00:01:14,664 --> 00:01:16,733
^2017 will be another year full

28
00:01:16,733 --> 00:01:18,807
of accomplishments and challenges.

29
00:01:18,807 --> 00:01:21,653
Through it all we know that our AFMC personnel

30
00:01:21,653 --> 00:01:25,318
remain at the ready to tackle what the new year brings.

31
00:01:25,318 --> 00:01:27,448
^- As the year draws to a close and we look to a new one,

32
00:01:27,448 --> 00:01:30,912
^take time to enjoy the holidays with friends and family,

33
00:01:30,912 --> 00:01:32,412
^make new memories,

34
00:01:32,545 --> 00:01:34,214
^recall those of years past,

35
00:01:34,214 --> 00:01:35,725
and above all be safe.

36
00:01:35,725 --> 00:01:37,808
- [Group] Happy holidays.
