When man first started his labor in his quest to conquer the sky he was designer, mechanic and pilot and he built a machine that would fly but somehow the order got twisted, and then in the public's eye the only man that could be seen was the man who knew how to fly The pilot was everyone's hero, he was brave, he was bold, he was grand, as he stood by his battered old biplane with his goggles and helmet in hand. To be sure, these pilots all earned it,to fly you have to have guts. And they blazed their names in the hall of fame on wings with bailing wire struts. But for each of these flying heroes there were thousands of little renown, and these were the men who worked on the planes but kept their feet on the ground. We all know the name of Lindbergh, and we've read of his flight of fame. But think, if you can, of his maintenance man, can you remember his name? And think of our wartime heroes, Gabreski, Jabara, and Scott. Can you tell me the names of their crew chief? A thousand to one you cannot. Now pilots are highly trained people,and wings are not easily won. But without the work of the maintenance man, our pilots would march with a gun. So when you see mighty jet aircraft as they mark their way through the air, the greased stained man with a wrench in his hand is the man that put them there.

TheLordreplied,"Haveyouseenthespecsonthisorder?Ithastobecompletely independentbutmustalwaysbesponsoredtogetonamilitaryinstallation.Itmusthavethe qualitiesofbothmotherandfatherduringdeployments,handleemergencieswithoutan instructionmanual,copewithfluandmovesallaroundtheworld,haveakissthatcures anythingfromachild'sbruisedkneetoahusband'swearydays,havethepatienceofasaint when waiting for her husband to come home and, have six pairs of hands."

The angel circled the model of the military wife very slowly."It's too soft," he sighed. "But tough," the Lord said excitedly."You cannot imagine what this being can do or endure." Finally the angel bent over and ran his finger across the cheek."There's a leak," he said."I toldyou thatyou were tryingtoput too muchintothis model." "It'snot aleak,"saidtheLord."It's a tear.""What's it for?"asked the angel."It's for joy, sadness, pain, loneliness and pride.""You're a genius," said the angel. Looking at her somberly, the Lord replied, "I didn't put it there."

K. Bolduc. WhileIwastossingbackandforthinbedlastnighttryingtothinkofwhattosayformy retirementspeech,Icametorealizethatallmythoughtsessentiallysurroundedthreemain words:Privilege, Pride, and Dedication.While trying to keep my speech as short as I can, I will explain why these words. Ive been privileged to have been born in theU.S.A.My father wasworking on his PHD in Biochemistry at Purdue University, and my parents didnt plan on having a baby right then and there, but here I came.My father passed away of cancer in 1989, and he was the sort of person youwouldfinddressedupinawhitecoatworkinginalabsurroundedbyvialsandcomplex equipment,justlikeyouseeinaJamesBondmovieonthosescientificscenes.Hewasa researcher and always lost in thoughts, and I find myself to be very much like him, always lost in myownworld.Mywifeisthetotaloppositeinthatrespect,andshehelpsmaintainmy humanity.I had the privilege of meeting her while in the military, and was proud to finalize her divorce and get the necessary documentation in order to adopt her two children.He was six and she was four at the time, and find myself extremely lucky to hear them call me Dad.It is such an honor.Then I had the pride and privilege of seeing our daughter born. Growing up in Canada, I discovered through theU.S. Consulate that in order to maintain my American citizenship, I would have to live in the U.S. at least one year before I reached the age of 22 (those were the rules then) in order for me to maintain my American citizenship.I had a greatfearoflosingthisasIhadalwaysfeltproudtoconsidermyselfanAmericanfirst,andI soonrealizedthatthisbecamemoreimportanttome.AftergraduatingfromHighSchool,I drovefivehourssouthtoPlattsburghwherethenearestrecruiterwas.IncrediblyIscoredhigh enough on the ASVAB test to be accepted, even though I didnt understand all the questions, and not only that but scored high enough not to be forced into the Security Forces career field as my only option (dont tell any SFS personnel I said that).This toss between Canadian and American citizenshipwaschallengedagainafter9-11whenthemilitarytrackeddowneveryoneinthe service who had more than one citizenship, and while I was interviewed by the FBI, I willingly signed a letter stating that I was willing to lose my Canadian citizenship.Hopefully that doesnt meanI have lost it,Iwould rather keep both. ButI turned in my Canadian passport then (Ive hadonesincebirth)andtheyshreddedit.IrememberaskingtheSPpersonnelwhythiswas necessary, and he said because my allegiance, by having dual citizenship, was in question.This infuriated me because by saying that he made me feel that the Enlistment Oath I had sworn at the Albany MEPS Station didnt mean a thing. ImalsoprivilegedofbeingaveteranofaforeignwarwhenIwenttoDesertShield/Desert StorminBahrainforsevenmonths.Shortlyafterthewar,Icouldnthelpbutwonderatthe thought that from now on every time a child will read about Desert Storm in the history books, they will actually read of me and what I had done in helping win the war, where I worked on the F-4G Phantom II aircrafts from Spangdahlem AB, blowing up SAM sites to allow aircrafts with nostealthtechnologytopenetrateenemylinesandaccomplishtheirmissions.Thiswarwill always be remembered and never forgotten.The pride I still feel to this day is incredible. IhadtheprivilegeofvisitingrecentlytheNationalMuseumoftheAirForcenearWright-Patterson AFB.Inside, I found a B-1B Lancer from Dyess AFB and remembered they had nose arts on them.Walking around, I saw a big Reg Hog painted on it that I remembered so well from being stationed at Dyess.I worked on this aircraft plenty of times as I had all the others, and yet again, howcouldI not feel pride lookingat a flying weapon thatI helped maintain, and here it was, in a museum!My proudest memory from working the B-1B is when I was called out on a Red Ball for an Inoperable Boost Pump Indicator.As I ran up to the cockpit and received a very briefandsternsynopsisfromtheco-pilot,Ireachedovertothegage,tappedontheglasswith my knuckle, and pop, the little green circular flag flicked into view.I looked over to the co-pilot andallhecoulddowasstareatthegageinsilence,probablythinkingWhythehelldidntI thinkofthat?.IknowwhatIthought.Itwentsomethingtotheeffectof:Thatsright.Ifit werent for me, youd be a pedestrian.I simply asked if there was anything else, and left. Not all of myexperiences however were socherished.My most disturbingexperiencecame whenIwasdetachedtoanArmyIntelligenceBattallionasaFrenchInterpreterinHaitifor OperationUpholdDemocracy,andoneofmydutieswastoshadowprisonerswhentheywere beingvisitedonceaweekinorderformetohearandreportallconversationssaid.Inthis particularinstance,adruglordwasbeingvisitedbyhisfamily,andhismotherwasloudand targeted her anger directly at me in French, because she could tell what I was there for.I was not allowed to engage in conversations, but I understood her anger and this did not bother me in the least.However, one thing did: hisyoung daughter, probably tenyears old or so, looking at me and her father for the longest time, not knowing what to do or say.But one thing was obvious to me: her eyes were screaming Why are you doing this to my Daddy? every time she looked at me.This was by far the most disturbing sight I had ever experienced, and I was outraged that he could bring shame not only to himself, but his entire family.There was nothing I could do, and this girl probably remembers me to this day, thinking the worst of Americans who had captured her father.Which brings me to my third and final word, Dedication. Ive had the privilege of living from the outside while growing up in Canada, and also when visitingfriendsinFrancewhenIwasyounger,andIknowwhattheoutsideworldthinksof Americans.Itistruethattheyseeusasbeingarrogant,thatwehaveournoseineveryones business.Perhaps some ofyou might even think why is it that we must involve ourselves with everyoneelsesproblems?Well,theanswerisverysimple.Goodwillalwayswinoverevil because of the truth.No matter how painful the truth might be when it happens, in the long run, the truth will always solve every single thing.And the truth is, we as Americans are Dedicated.Europeanshavealuxuryoflivinginthecushionoftheirculturewhichmaintainsthemina steadypatternoflife,thathasbeenestablishedforthembytheirpastgenerationsaverylong time ago.We are a young nation, one still strugling to recognize a single identity, and we have foughthardandlongthroughourpioneersinthisNewWorldtoestablishourselvesglobally.Butwehaveaccomplishedthisthroughjustonething:Dedication.Ourcultureisoneof Dedication.Because we are dedicated to what is RIGHT, and we are dedicated to what is JUST.Which brings me to my final and parting words: God Bless America.
