Road Trip: Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska

Offutt Air Force Base (Offutt AFB) is a U.S. Air Force installation near Omaha in Sarpy County, Nebraska. It is the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Command, the Air Force Weather Agency, and the 55th Wing. Its legacy includes the construction of the first two bombers to drop atomic bombs and nearly 30 years as the aerial command center for the U.S. in case of nuclear war during the Cold War.

Offutt’s diverse missions and global responsibilities put it on the cutting edge of the Air Force’s transformation. Each branch of the US military is represented among the approximately 12,000 military and federal employees assigned here. Offutt is a beautiful community situated near the Missouri River in the rolling hills of southeastern Nebraska.

Air Combat Command is the primary force provider of combat airpower to America's warfighting commands. To support global implementation of national security strategy, ACC operates fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, battle-management and electronic-combat aircraft. It also provides command, control, communications and intelligence systems, and conducts global information operations.

As a force provider, ACC organizes, trains, equips and maintains combat-ready forces for rapid deployment and employment while ensuring strategic air defense forces are ready to meet the challenges of peacetime air sovereignty and wartime air defense.

 ACC numbered air forces provide the air component to U.S. Central and Southern Commands with Headquarters ACC serving as the air component to U.S. Northern and Joint Forces Commands. ACC also augments forces to U.S. European, Pacific and Strategic Commands.

Kathy, I’m sorry to read this. I know how it feels. I hurt so badly for your family...

Logan’s Prayer Warriors, please see #49 and pray.

Heavenly Father we come before you as your children, praying for Kathy’s Daddy and family. Please give them the strength they need to go through this, their saying goodbye to a man they love. Lord, there is no easy way for this, but I pray that you DO ease their pain, that you take Dad Home with you in a calm and quiet and peaceful way. Thank you for him, thank you for his life, for the example he’s set.

Please Lord, hear our prayers...

In Your Name,
Amen

And Amen.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you, Jim.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Grammie. We don’t think he’s in any pain, but he continues to be agitated. Trying to let him know that he can let go.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Publius, for Rachmaninov.

[Brad’s Gramma]

My Dad...remember that my brother was with him at the end? He said that Daddy kept reaching into the air and “taking” something with one hand and putting it into the other. Finally my brother offered to “help hold some of that for you”. Daddy handed over whatever it was he was ...

My brother’s a Pastor, he said he was “processing” things...I don’t know for sure what that meant, the pain is too deep for my brother yet...but Daddy seemed to settle down a lot after he was able to take all of it and give it all to Gary.

He acted the same way you’re describing.

I feel so bad for all of you, you have no idea.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, T....swift and safe.

BTW....did you know that his hospital bed can weigh him? This new fangled tech stuff is something. LOL! Only problem is the weight was in kilos. He was 77 kilos yesterday...170 pounds. He was 178 last Saturday.

[amom]

did you know that his hospital bed can weigh him? This new fangled tech stuff is something.

I had no idea! Makes sense they'd come up with that when I stop and think about it. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]
