Austin Offers Air Force Academy Grads Lessons in Leadership

WASHINGTON, 26 May 2022, (TON): The graduating class of the U.S. Air Force Academy got a lesson in leadership straight from the top as Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III delivered the commencement address.

Austin reminded the newly minted second lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force have a special responsibility as a symbol of what America stands for.

The secretary said “always remember that you didn’t join just any air force. You joined the United States Air Force.”

“You’re not just any guardians. You are United States Guardians. We’re here to defend America’s security and win America’s wars. But we’re also here to safeguard America’s values.”

The secretary told “the 973 graduates that safeguarding America’s values means having a love of service. The cadets swear an oath like all other members of the military to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. “
