Description
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The recent celebration of the United States Air Force's sixtieth anniversary gives us pause to reflect on its rich heritage and history, which appears in many places and forms. We see it in marching formations and sharp salutes. We hear it in the words of our veterans and in the Air Force Song. We smell it in JP fuel fumes and feel it in the heat and the cold of the global environment where Air Force people operate. We read it in compelling histories and accounts. These all provide connections to those who have come before and to those who are adding to the story of the Air Force now. Yet, there is another powerful form of heritage which is unique and enduring--artifacts. Our heritage and history also reside in the Air Force's national collection of artifacts, which preserves our legacy while educating and inspiring current and future generations.
