We all represent the U . S . Air Force
and Space Force , but we each
represents something beyond this
country and beyond our service . We
represent our parents , our Children ,
our partners , our values
ourselves . The day you decide to serve
isn't the day you give up who you are .
It's the day you show who you are and
the day we become stronger for having
you in our ranks . No matter your
culture , your beliefs , your
background or who you identify as one
thing will always be true . You belong
here . Our service is our common ground .
It's an invitation toe . Learn more
about each other so that we can accept
our differences with understanding and
empathy . It should motivate us to make
everyone feel like they belong . If we
can put our lives in each other's hands
on the front lines way need to have
each other's backs when we're home . No
one's identity should ever be dismissed
or disregarded . If we undermine each
other way , undermine the very thing we
serve . We all serve the same nation
and fight for the same mission . We all
joined for the same reasons to serve
our country to provide for our families
to be a part of something bigger than
ourselves so that we might become our
best Selves . But if we can't see , the
best in each other will never be the
best versions of ourselves . Our
diversity is our strength . Our
combined differences make us faster ,
better and more powerful because we're
different way . See what our enemies
can't have experienced what they want .
We have the advantage as long as we
continue to work together , Theo , Air
Force and the Space Force our
environments where everyone should be
able to reach their full potential .
We've come a long way , and we're
making strides , but we're not there
yet , so let's continue to build it
more consciously . Let's open our minds
and opportunities to more people .
Let's be more willing to see each other
Thio here each other and to be curious
about each other's perspectives .
Inclusion is not the enemy of readiness .
Division is if we want to win as a team
way , have to champion each other first .
Welcome to the family . This Air Force
in the Space Force are yours . Yeah ,
