 Senior leaders salute Air Force's 66th birthday By Air Force News Service
 WASHINGTON - Acting Secretary of the Air Force  Eric Fanning, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III and Chief Master  Sgt. of the Air Force James Cody issued the following message to the Airmen of  the United States Air Force: On the 66th birthday of the United States Air Force, we  salute the dedicated Airmen who provide airpower for America. From 1947 to today, Airmen have accomplished our Service's  core missions - air and space superiority; intelligence, surveillance, and  reconnaissance; rapid global mobility; global strike; and command and  control. We have evolved into a service  that carries out missions through air, space and cyberspace, but our core missions  have remained constant. Advances in  technology now allow us to fly faster, farther and higher than ever  before. We use aircraft and spacecraft  that no one could have imagined at our service's creation, and we continue to  provide an asymmetric advantage for America. Airmen have been and continue to be the strength of our  service. The U.S. Air Force was forged  by airpower legends with names like Sijan, Levitow, Jones and Day. These heroes and many others made history,  and their legacy continues as today's Airmen write the history of this  generation. Decades from now, the names  of Airmen among us today will be as familiar as the names of the earlier heroes  we celebrate. America depends on the Airmen who provide global vigilance,  global reach and global power, and our remarkable total force of active duty,  Guard, Reserve and civilian Airmen has never failed to answer the Nation's  call. Please join us in proudly  celebrating the 66th birthday of the U.S. Air Force. As always, we sincerely thank you and your  families for all that you do. Happy Birthday, Air Force!
