partners and our allies , ensuring our
ability to effectively harness the
space domain . But remember , you do
not stand alone . Our strength lies in
our connection in our shared duty and
purpose . We stand together not just as
comrades , but as custodians of the
ultimate high ground , each one of us ,
a link in a chain , stronger together ,
more resolute together . And as you
embark on your journey , I offer you
this patch , a symbol of our shared
bond . Let it remind you of our
collective purpose because being a
guardian is more than a title . It's a
promise , a promise to yourself and to
our nation that you will protect , You
will serve and you will secure every
day , you'll reach higher and strive
further contributing to the peace and
prosperity of our nation . So stand
tall . Guardian , embrace your pivotal
