The White House issued a presidential message honoring the United States Air Force's 79th birthday, tracing its founding to September 18, 1947, as an independent military branch.
The message credits airmen with keeping the country 'secure, at peace, and prosperous' and cites a summer flyover of the National Mall during Independence Day celebrations, describing formations of fighters, tankers, and bombers thundering overhead.
The statement closes with a pledge to support the Air Force with 'every resource they need,' without naming any specific resource, program, or budget figure.
