Cunningham regardless of years and

00:10.154 --> 00:12.490

00:12.490 --> 00:14.500
their birthday now they weren't all

00:14.500 --> 00:16.667
born on the same day but they all came

00:16.667 --> 00:18.611

00:18.611 --> 00:20.778
Force is 59th birthday . However , the

00:28.889 --> 00:28.490
and join forces on the ground . That's

00:28.490 --> 00:30.768
how we celebrate the best way to do it .

00:30.768 --> 00:32.990
It's what we do best and nobody does it

00:32.990 --> 00:35.046
better . 59 years later , the Airman

00:35.046 --> 00:36.934
commemorated with the traditional

00:36.934 --> 00:39.046
speeches , information , but for some

00:39.046 --> 00:40.879
Airman it's not their first time

00:40.879 --> 00:43.101
celebrating the birthday . I've been in

00:43.101 --> 00:45.212
the airport just over 24 years . It's

00:45.212 --> 00:44.990
their first time celebrating the

00:44.990 --> 00:46.823
anniversary period . I was on my

00:46.823 --> 00:49.046
birthday for 11 , 4 months and I got to

00:49.046 --> 00:50.990
deploy right away so I get to jump

00:50.990 --> 00:53.157
right into things here . So I'm loving

00:53.157 --> 00:55.046
it in the air Armada in world war

00:55.046 --> 00:57.046
battlefield has changed drastically

00:57.046 --> 00:58.879
over the last half century . But

00:58.879 --> 01:01.046
remembering the history of the service

01:01.046 --> 01:02.712
reminds blue suitors deployed

01:02.712 --> 01:04.879
throughout the world of the traditions

01:04.879 --> 01:07.101
that makes them airmen . I think it's a

01:07.101 --> 01:09.101
great year to be in the Air Force .

01:09.101 --> 01:11.046
Looking forward to celebrating our
