    041118 Air Force Association Air Force Breakfast with General Robin Rand, Commander of Air Force Global Strike Command GEN. LARRY SPENCER: Good morning, everyone. If I could get your attention, please? Good morning. First of all, good morning and thank you all for being here. As you can see, we typically have these breakfasts over at the Capitol Hill Club, but based on scheduling we had to move over to the hotel this morning. We have a beautiful view here, we have a great speaker, so we’re really glad that you’re all here. I think most of you know me, but I’m Larry Spencer. I’m the president of AFA. We are really pleased today to have not only a great speaker and a great leader but a great friend as well. Most of you know General Rand. He will be retiring in a couple of months, and I’m told it will be 39 years or there about, close to 40 years, and 27 assignments, six of those overseas. So I’m sure your wife is looking forward to retirement as well. If you think about it, though, General Rand has actually been in the Air Force longer than 39 years because his father also served in the Air Force. Not only did he serve, but his father was also a fighter pilot. Not only was he a fighter pilot but he was a combat veteran of both World War II and Vietnam, so clearly family of service and a family of war fighters. I’m also told, General Raymond, that your father survived being shot down twice.

  • 75 Years of HELPING AIRMEN
    75 Years of HELPING AIRMEN 2017 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION - To support Airmen and enhance the Air Force mission by relieving emergency financial distress, helping Airmen’s families to achieve their educational goals, and improving their quality of life through proactive programs. OUR VISION - To be a charitable organization that embodies the concept of Airmen helping Airmen – that is embraced by Airmen and those who support Airmen. Air Force Aid Society has been named a 4-Star Charity – the highest rating possible – by Charity Navigator, the nation’s leading independent evaluator of charitable organizations. AFAS received this high rating as a result of our fiscal efficiency and transparency. AFAS 2017 Annual Report A Powerful LEGACY AT 75 YEARS, THE AIR FORCE AID SOCIETY CONTINUES ITS TRADITION OF AIRMEN HELPING AIRMEN, AND EDUCATING AMERICA’S FUTURE LEADERS. It was March 1942. America had only been in World War II for a few months. Yet young Airmen were losing their lives at an alarming rate. What would happen to their families now that these men were no longer alive to support them? Who would ensure that their children would one day get the education they needed to become America’s future leaders? When the world was consumed by war, General Hap and Mrs. Bee Arnold chose to sow the seeds of optimism about America’s future. So, 75 years ago, on March 9, 1942, the Arnolds created the Army Air Forces Aid Society. Later renamed the Air Force Aid Society, the organization was chartered for “the establishment of a trust fund, the principal
