68 years ago today, President Truman signed the National Security Act which created the modern-day U.S. Air Force from the U.S. Army Air Corps. From heavy-lift aircraft assisting in HA/DR, logistical, and personnel movement missions, to the world's most technologically advanced fighters and bombers -- executing vigilance, reach and power throughout the USPACOM skies. Our Pacific Air Forces successfully perform time-on-target and overall impressive tasks every day.
Thousands of Airmen demonstrate that OUR Air Force is the best in the world.
Wishing a sincere birthday to all Airmen, past and present! Thanks for all that you do.
