The Men and Women of the Headquarters Standard Systems Group Cordially invite you to attend a Retirement Ceremony honoring TSgt. Michael N. Schlau On Thursday, the twenty-eighth of October 2004 At nine in the morning SSG Auditorium BLDG 892 Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex, Alabama Reception to follow Luncheon: 1130, Super Buffet on Atlanta Hwy.
While my ceremony is tomorrow, I don't officially outprocess the military until Nov 2.
I can't think of a better retirement present than 4 more years of George W. Bush as Commander in Chief.
God bless you for your service, commish. We owe a debt of gratitude to our soldiers that we can never fully repay.
I don't like most vanities...but ....THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Congrats, Commish. You follow in a long tradition of USAF lifers - like my own father. Hail to you flyboy....and may your retirement years be lengthy, healthy, and full of joy.
Congratulations for your retirement and your proud service of America. From a native San Antonian, WOOHOO!!, I love San Antonio!
I only served for 4 years in the USAF but I was stapled as a War Criminal by Kerry.
Welcome to the ranks of the Retired. I cant believe its been 20 years for me. I miss it..!
Commish,
1.) Thank you for your almost quarter century of service to our great country. It is the men like you that I looked up to and respected as a young enlistee in the Navy, and help to guide my carrer for the 4 years that I served. You and you like are the core of todays military and you have passed along an unlimited wealth of knowledge I am sure.
2.) I wish you the best in your retirement I hope that your time is filled with the things that bring you joy in life. knowing that the safety of this country is in capable hands.
3.) I will do my best to make sure that you wish for the retirment present of 4 more years of George Bush becomes a reality.
Thank you again for your service you are a true Patriot!
The USAF is indeed in good hands. Every week, 50 weeks a year, some 900 new airmen march on the parade grounds, trying to get a glimpse of the F15 as they stand at attention.
My daughter graduated from Flight School (Lackland, where else?) in August. The vast majority of the airmen's parents, spouses, etc make the trip for graduation, indicating a strong level of support for the airmen back home.
Thank you for your service. You can retire assured.
Amen. I was a munitions systems specialist from 1990-97. Participated in several retirement ceremonies.... always sent chills up my spine at the personal sacrifices these people have made...
Congratulations! Thank you for serving our country all those many years. My husband was a Squadron Commander at Basic Training at Lackland from 1978 to 1982. Unfortunately he left the Air force with 14 years active duty and we have regretted it ever since. Thanks so much!
Thank you for your service, Commish. We pray you will have a happy retirement.
I entered the AF in '82. I loved the 4 years I served. My husband retired from the AF after 20+ years.
Congratulations and THANK YOU for serving.
"...Thou who dost keep with tender might
The balanced birds in all their flight
Thou of the tempered winds be near
That, having thee, they know no fear..."
Thank you for your service sir. My daughter joined the USAF last July and is loving it. 'So many truly dedicated people' in her words. Enjoy your retirement, best wishes. Steve
Now you can start making the big bucks! You are in high demand if you get tired of golf..
I was in AF afore you you were born.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
