A July 4th message from 412th CC Published June 27, 2013 By Brig. Gen. Michael T. Brewer 412th Test Wing commander EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Team, This coming Thursday we celebrate the birth of our great nation and its declared independence. The Fourth of July is a time to be with family and friends, but also serves as a reminder of what our Founding Fathers and members of our armed forces have fought for. From the American Revolution to present day, we continue to protect America's freedom. I thank all of you - Airman, civilian and contractor. Your hard work and commitment to providing the most advanced and superior air power to the warfighter makes us the greatest air force in the world. You are the greatest asset the Air Force has. Please have a great and safe Independence Day weekend and I'll see you all at the Freedom Fest!
