Air Force leaders send Independence Day message

7/3/2007 - WASHINGTON (AFPN) — The following is an Independence Day message from Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley.

“To the Airmen of the United States Air Force:

“On July 4, 1776, 56 men signed a document that established the foundation for new nation where “all men are created equal” with “certain unalienable rights.”

It was a major milestone not just for the revolutionary colonies, but also for mankind. Yet the Declaration of Independence alone did not produce freedom; Americans would have to fight for seven long years to break the “political bands” which connected them to the British crown. Tens of thousands of Americans died during the war. This established in our nation’s infancy the concepts that freedom is not free, and whatever the price, it is worth paying. Subsequently, each time our nation and the ideals upon which it is founded have been attacked or threatened, American fighting men and women have responded to the call to protect and defend them against freedom’s enemies.

“Just as the Minutemen of the Revolutionary War were ready to respond at a moment’s notice, today our Airmen continually provide Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power to ensure our nation’s security. While the Minutemen’s muskets have been replaced by the technologically advanced weapons systems of our Air Force, what has not changed in 231 years is our greatest asymmetric advantage: the courage, commitment and sacrifice of our Airmen and their fellow Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen.

“Our nation’s joint force is now engaged in a global war against violent extremism, a philosophy that is diametrically opposed to the convictions on which our founding fathers based our nation. More than 34,000 Airmen are deployed around the world fighting this global war on terror; nearly 180,000 Airmen daily serve our nation’s combatant commanders; and all 683,000 Airmen in our total force give the Air Force an unprecedented ability to detect, deter, dissuade, and defeat our nation’s enemies. We join the rest of the nation in thanking you all for your service and sacrifice, without which we would not have these capabilities.

“Wherever you are on our nation’s 231st birthday, have a safe and enjoyable holiday, and take pride in knowing that you are a member of the finest Air Force the world has ever known! Your service provides the sword and shield that guard our nation, its interests, and ideals throughout the world. On this Independence Day be proud to be an American Airman — a warrior who has answered our nation’s call to fly, fight and win.

“Happy Independence Day!”

Thank you KIA!

Happy 4th to all in the Canteen!

Celebrate Freedom

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Romans 6:15-23

The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. —Romans 8:2

After being kidnapped, held hostage for 13 days, and released, New Zealand news cameraman Olaf Wiig, with a broad smile on his face, announced, “I feel more alive now than I have in my entire life.”

For reasons difficult to understand, being freed is more exhilarating than being free.

For those who enjoy freedom every day, Olaf’s joy was a good reminder of how easily we forget how blessed we are. This is also true spiritually. Those of us who have been Christians for a long time often forget what it’s like to be held hostage by sin. We can become complacent and even ungrateful. But then God sends a reminder in the form of a new believer who gives an exuberant testimony of what God has done in his or her life, and once again we see the joy that is ours when we are “free from the law of sin and death” (Rom. 8:2).

If freedom has become boring to you, or if you tend to focus on what you can’t do, consider this: Not only are you no longer a slave to sin, but you are freed to be holy and to enjoy eternal life with Christ Jesus! (6:22).

Celebrate your freedom in Christ by taking the time to thank God for the things you are able and free to do as His servant.

The sinful flesh in which we dwell
Makes living righteously
Impossible without the Lord,
Who died to set us free. —Sper

Living for Christ brings true freedom.

Bible in One Year:   Job 28-29; Acts 13:1-25

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
