Weaver: We're living in a challenging era. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the world in a myriad of different ways. In America many have described this pandemic as unprecedented, as essential workers diligently serve those that have been profoundly impacted by this pandemic. Also, as many of you may already be aware, many of our brothers and sisters have been dispatched to different parts of the United States to serve communities and cities. We are ushered truly into a new life rhythm and a new life situation, and many of us are wondering, "What does the future hold?" I'm here to remind you of the single word, and that's "resiliency." As Airmen, we are called upon to both embody and exhibit what it really means to be resilient. I love this definition of resiliency, which says, "resilience is a quality "of being able to adapt to stressful life changes "and bounce back from hardship."
Anderson: We definitely learned how to become organized and remain self-sufficient in a mass of people with a bunch of units from all over the country. It was good to have guys there from Massachusetts. I was really very proud of our unit when we left.
Williams: that minuteman that we use as a symbol within our organization in that right hand he has the musket in the left hand he has the plow that means he's dropping from his civilian side to go take up arms to support the state and the federal mission going out provides that security for the state and nation that is what it means to be that minuteman that's why america is very proud
