would like to dedicate this special page in honor of
three thousand precious innocent lives that were
destroyed on September 11, 2001 by the most evil and
hateful people, and to the thousands of valiant
American troops who have sacrificed their lives
since 9/11 fighting to defend America's freedom .

remember

Since Sept. 11, 2001, the Air Force has been continuously called upon to
help preserve the nation's way of life and defeat the threat of terrorism.
As of 2007, when this photo was taken, the Air Force had nearly 40,000 active duty, Guard and
Reserve Airmen deployed to more than 20 countries across the globe,
supporting the war on terrorism. (U.S. Air Force graphic/Mike Carabajal)
