Does anyone know if his speech from Rudder this Friday was recorded? Truly inspirational speech and a great man!

Don't have the answer to your question, but would like to add that it was an absolutely phenomenal speech. He is one hell of a guy.

Audio and video recording was prohibited

Bummer, but thanks for info.

What were the main points?

I heard it was a really great speech. I wish there were recordings, so that we could analyze what went right. I can never find the right speeches to dissect.

Not the one from Friday but this gives you a sense of it.

^Thanks for posting

You bet, no worries.

Typically, all speeches by the CSAF are available from the USAF website...I'll look around...

My son was there and said the same things. Said it was very inspirational and motivational. One of the best talks he had even attended.

IIRC he said the General spoken the importance of keeping things in their proper place. While he loved the AF and was proud to serve, he wanted to make sure to remember his wife and his God.

There was undoubtedly more, but those are the things my son mentioned when I spoke to him last.

Sorry ! Who is Gen. Welch?

He's the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. He has at least one son who is an Aggie, for some reason I want to say two.

I had the chance to hear Gen Welsh speak on Veterans day weekend at the Doolittle Raiders final toast. It was a very moving speech and he knocked it out of the park.

Earlier in the day there was a Memorial Service for the fallen Raiders and the Raiders were escorted to the service by ~40 members of the Ohio Patriot Guard. After the afternoon service Gen Welsh personally thanked every Patriot Guard member individually.

Obviously a stand up guy.

He's in the process of selling out the Air Force for the F-35. It's a turd.
