Welsbach, Chief of the Air Force. And General Chance Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations. I want to first recognize the Air Force efforts during the operations of Venezuela, now Iran. We have incredible airmen that serve. I certainly offer my condolences for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and those who wounded the harrowing rescue of Dude 44. Our airmen are the very best in the world. I also want to acknowledge the aircraft we've lost and munitions we've expended in Iran, which is not insignificant. (00:11–00:22)
