"To the men and women of the RPA enterprise, I just came up here all the way to Creech Air Force Base to say thank you. Thanks for your commitment to excellence, thank you for what you do today to protect the men and women of the joint force and allow them the ability to go that last 100 meters. It is in fact of vital importance that we continue to integrate and understand one another so that we can apply America’s missions across the globe, no matter what it is. So, from me to you, from a ground guy to those of you in the air, thanks for what you do.”
