For 24 years, this Airman has stood the
watch
While some of us were in our bunks at
night … this Airman stood the watch
While some of us were in school learning
our trade … this Airman stood the watch
Yes, even before some of us were born
into this world ... this Airman stood the watch
In those years when the storm clouds of
war were seen brewing on the horizon of history … this Airman stood the watch
Many times, he would cast a glance and
see his family standing there, needing his guidance and help … needing that
hand to hold during those hard times … but he still stood the watch
He stood the watch for twenty Four years
He stood the watch so that we, our
families, and our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety each and
every night knowing that an Airman stood the watch.
Today I am here to say, the watch stands
relieved. Relieved by those you have led, guided and trained
