F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. --  Today is my last day as the 20th Air Force commander and my how time flies. Thanks to all of you who have been part of the 20th Air Force over the past two years and who have been part of the historic and meaningful changes that will take the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile into the future. I am very proud of what we have accomplished and the professional attitude that you all display each and every day. 

As Eileen and I pack up one more time to move to Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., we look forward to our new role as the vice commander of Air Force Space Command. I have a lot to learn in my new job but will never forget the men and women who provide the backbone to our strategic deterrence in our missile fields, 24/7/365. 

Eileen and I wish you all continued success and the best of everything in the future. It has truly been an honor to serve as your commander and we will never forget you.
