“In closing, I leave you with these words from former President John F. Kennedy: ‘Things do not happen. Things are made to happen,” Tyler continued. “May we all be inspired by the courage and determination of people who truly ‘make it happen.’ Thank you for your outstanding contributions to DLA Aviation, and may you continue to lead by example in the years to come.”
