00:01.204 --> 00:04.537
(holiday festive music)

00:09.770 --> 00:11.660
- Heroes in the Air Force Reserve,

00:11.660 --> 00:14.160
this year has been quite a year.

00:14.160 --> 00:16.360
And that's pretty much all
I'm gonna say about that.

00:16.360 --> 00:19.610
But your command team here
knows this holiday season,

00:19.610 --> 00:22.760
may not look like we normally
do when we celebrate.

00:22.760 --> 00:26.050
However, as we move into
the final months of 2020,

00:26.050 --> 00:27.630
it's important to take time out

00:27.630 --> 00:29.510
and reflect on the positive

00:29.510 --> 00:31.740
changes and the positive friendships

00:31.740 --> 00:33.210
and the positive growth,

00:33.210 --> 00:35.140
and the overall goodness in our lives

00:35.140 --> 00:37.060
and those we care about.

00:37.060 --> 00:39.130
- Rich and I hope you
all are able to enjoy

00:39.130 --> 00:41.870
and celebrate with your friends
and loved ones this season,

00:41.870 --> 00:43.380
even if it's virtually.

00:43.380 --> 00:44.600
And that we always remember

00:44.600 --> 00:46.670
those were deployed
serving around the globe

00:46.670 --> 00:49.230
and here at the home
fighting the pandemic.

00:49.230 --> 00:51.170
- Let me start off with a heartfelt thanks

00:51.170 --> 00:55.550
for the contributions you have
made to our nation this year.

00:55.550 --> 00:57.910
Nothing has been business as usual,

00:57.910 --> 00:59.690
yet you haven't missed a step

00:59.690 --> 01:01.290
when accomplishing our mission.

01:01.290 --> 01:03.550
In fact, you raised the bar.

01:03.550 --> 01:07.770
So thank you for your hard
work, devotion and resilience.

01:07.770 --> 01:10.850
- Let's also remember the
families of our deployed,

01:10.850 --> 01:12.540
who will undoubtedly,

01:12.540 --> 01:15.220
miss their loved ones this holiday season.

01:15.220 --> 01:17.760
We ask that you reach out
and share a little joy

01:17.760 --> 01:20.930
with all of our reserve family, if able.

01:20.930 --> 01:22.970
- You, our reserve citizen airmen,

01:22.970 --> 01:24.890
are our most valued resource.

01:24.890 --> 01:27.830
Make sure you take the time
these last few weeks of 2020,

01:27.830 --> 01:31.330
to recharge, reevaluate,
and reinvigorate yourself,

01:31.330 --> 01:32.683
for a better year ahead.

01:33.720 --> 01:37.100
As well, I ask you to reach out
to your wingmen this season.

01:37.100 --> 01:39.170
Help them do the same.

01:39.170 --> 01:41.870
We wanna wish you the
very best in the new year.

01:41.870 --> 01:43.960
So from our command team to yours,

01:43.960 --> 01:45.983
- [All] Happy Holidays.
