Note from AFA President -- Veteran's Day

AFA members, we should all stop today to remember our Veterans, their sacrifices (sometimes with their lives), and the sacrifices of their families. 
As many of you may know, I will officiate over a short ceremony at the Air Force Memorial overlooking the Pentagon.  Here is the “speech” I will give: http://www.afa.org/members/CommTools/APA/apa_notes/2011/Gen_Dunn_Veterans_Day_2011_Speech.pdf
Additionally, our Chairman of the Board, Sandy Schlitt and his spouse, will attend a breakfast honoring our veterans at the White House with the President and First Lady.  Later, he will lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery. 
At 1100 today, I’d like to ask each of you to pause for a moment of silence in honor of all those who have served and are still serving.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Mike
