“THE WATCH”

"The Watch" was read by A1C Oronda Love, a new Airman, and was a fabulous tribute to my brother!

 

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

Master Sergeant Moulton, You stand relieved. We have the watch!
