HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah — Team Hill, with the holiday season upon us, and 2016 around the corner, I want to offer a special thanks to you and your families. Your dedication and sacrifices, along with those of your family, have ensured our success this year, and will continue to propel us into 2016.

As we reflect on 2015, your outstanding service and countless accomplishments in the defense of our great nation has not gone unnoticed. Please accept my gratitude for a job well done.

I encourage you to enjoy the holidays and always keep safety in mind.
