00:00.380 --> 00:01.270
- Hey there everyone.

00:01.270 --> 00:03.360
I'm Airman First Class Angelo Rosario

00:03.360 --> 00:06.120
with your look around the Air Force.

00:06.120 --> 00:08.590
Over the weekend, recent
Metal of Honor recipient,

00:08.590 --> 00:10.660
Master Sergeant John Chapman's name,

00:10.660 --> 00:12.838
was unveiled on the Special
Tactics Wall of Honor

00:12.838 --> 00:16.160
during a memorial ceremony
at Hurlburt Field, Florida.

00:16.160 --> 00:18.560
- Memorials are about reflecting

00:18.560 --> 00:21.100
on the best qualities
embodied by the actions

00:21.100 --> 00:25.140
of our heroes worthy of a legacy

00:26.040 --> 00:28.133
to inspire us all to do more,

00:28.970 --> 00:31.620
to inspire us all to be better.

00:31.620 --> 00:33.794
For those of us privileged to serve,

00:33.794 --> 00:37.580
it's our sacred duty to
reflect on these ideas

00:37.580 --> 00:40.980
and the actions of those
who have gone before us

00:40.980 --> 00:42.523
and secured our freedom.

00:44.130 --> 00:49.010
As we recommit ourselves to
the important work ahead.

00:49.010 --> 00:50.810
- Sergeant Chapman is the first airman

00:50.810 --> 00:53.900
to receive the Metal of
Honor since the Vietnam War.

00:53.900 --> 00:56.730
Chief of Staff of the Air
Force, General David Goldstein,

00:56.730 --> 00:59.340
and Chief Master Sergeant of
the Air Force Kaleth Wright,

00:59.340 --> 01:01.640
visited Tyndall Air Force
Base for the second time

01:01.640 --> 01:04.770
since Hurrican Michael
caused catastrophic damage.

01:04.770 --> 01:06.540
During the visit, they recognized airmen

01:06.540 --> 01:09.299
for their post-storm efforts
and discussed the way forward

01:09.299 --> 01:12.000
following the announcement
that Tyndall Air Force Base

01:12.000 --> 01:13.320
would be rebuilt.

01:13.320 --> 01:16.670
1200 people are supporting
Task Force Phoenix focusing

01:16.670 --> 01:19.000
on infrastructure, saving what they can,

01:19.000 --> 01:20.800
and building the base that's needed.

01:20.800 --> 01:23.940
Water and power are operational
including sewer services

01:23.940 --> 01:25.000
and water treatment.

01:25.000 --> 01:27.920
Of the 704 buildings,
not including housing,

01:27.920 --> 01:30.040
more than 300 have been inspected,

01:30.040 --> 01:32.680
and at least 37 percent can be repaired.

01:32.680 --> 01:35.870

stories can be found on AF.mil.

01:35.870 --> 01:38.253
