NIAGARA FALLS AIR RESERVE STATION, N.Y. -- The holidays give each of us an opportunity to reflect on our accomplishments of the past year and cherish time with our families. It is also a time to look forward to a new year of opportunities, both collectively and individually.

Our installation faced difficult changes this year and all of you have responded admirably in accepting and excelling within our new association. As the Air Reserve Component of the most formidable Air Force in the world, we reinvigorated our commitment to a strong national defense by working together as a team.



Each and every one of you is vitally important. Our role as trustworthy partners in today's fight depends on your day-to-day contributions. We could not be more proud of all you do to demonstrate that the Air Reserve Component is "all in" as our Chief of Staff has emphasized and devoted to winning today's fight while preparing for tomorrow's challenges.

During this holiday season, you can reflect with pride that Niagara Falls ARS is doing its part to provide Rapid Global Mobility to our joint team. With many of our wing personnel are deployed during this holiday season. Please keep them in your thoughts as we enjoy time with friends and families. We honor all of you; your service, your families and your employers who share in your sacrifice. We wish you all a safe and happy holiday season.
