"To the 934th Airmen and Civilian employees: thank you," said Kraemer. "Thank you for choosing to serve in the defense of our nation, for giving up your weekends and possibly the best years of your lives, for your volunteerism above our routine deployment requirements and for your commitment to a mission well done."
