Members of the Air Combat Command Directorate of Cyberspace and Information Dominance rededicated the Major General John P. Hyde building to Mrs. Elizabeth Hyde, Maj. Gen. Hyde’s wife, May 23, 2019 at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.
Although Mrs. Hyde was present during the building dedication to her husband in 2003, Maj. Gen. Hyde’s name was not yet affixed, therefore this was the first time she saw his name on the building.
In 1957, Maj. Gen. Hyde commissioned into the U.S. Air Force and throughout the next 31 years of service to the nation, he held many positions, including Tactical Communications Area commander at Langley Air Force Base. It was in this capacity Maj. Gen. Hyde became a communications pioneer, leading Airmen and establishing policies which helped create the foundation for today’s ACC command and control systems.
Now 16 years later, Col. Chad Raduege, ACC A6 director, decided to rededicate the building back to the Hyde family.
“We honor the past in order to move forward into the future,” said Raduege. “The foundation that we build upon today is comprised of legendary leaders that have gone before us. Seven former ACC Directors of Communication are in attendance to help us celebrate the legacy of Maj. Gen. Hyde. What a legacy, what a future.”
With close family ties to the Hyde family, Raduege recalled several memories of playing in the A6 office he now holds. Raduege’s father, retired Lt. Gen. Harry Raduege, was Maj. Gen. Hyde’s executive officer. Along with Col. Raduege, his father and the senior enlisted advisor to Gen. Hyde, retired Chief Master Sgt. Anthony Coppa, shared memories about their time serving alongside the major general.
With Memorial Day around the corner, the Major General John P. Hyde building rededication came just in time for service members to remember of all those that served before them and the sacrifices made.
