  • Celebrate Independence safely

    As always at the 45th Space Wing, safety is a critical priority. General Shelton's holiday message above reemphasizes this message. However you choose to celebrate the Fourth, Lisa and I simply ask you to do it safely. Added cautions this year are severe drought conditions and firework bans. Like

  • Let's repeat mishap-free Fourth

    We celebrate the birth of our great nation in many ways. Some of us travel to spend some time away from home, while others stay home and enjoy the holiday around the house. Regardless of how you choose to celebrate this Fourth of July, know this: you are an important element of the talented,

  • Attitude (with a capital A)

    What's faster than a speeding Atlas? More powerful than a Falcon 9? Able to leap over desks to take down an unbadged intruder in a single bound? It's a bird, it's a plane, it's former 45th Launch Group Commander, Col. (Ret.) Scott Henderson. Well, that's exactly what Colonel Henderson did while

  • Pink and Blue are My Favorite Colors

         Those that know me well can easily attest that pink is my trademark--from pink pens, pink flamingos, and pink outfits, I can't deny that I love the color pink. However, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the Air Force blue that has run through my veins over the last twenty-two years of

    Old Glory. The Stars and Stripes. The Red, White and Blue.Whatever name you want to call it, we all know the chills we get when we see it waving in the wind, whether it's over Memorial Plaza, over the center field wall at a baseball park, atop the stand at an Olympic medal presentation -- or - more

  • Memorial Day: A time to 'reconnect'

    As we all know, many of us will be honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice by attending one of the many Memorial Day activities Monday that will be held here on the Space Coast and throughout the nation.And that's certainly what we should be doing. It's the least we can do.But fewer and fewer

  • Change What?

    From fatigues to BDUs to ABUs. From Air Force Regulations to Air Force Instructions.
