"I want to thank all of you for your time, your expertise, your patriotism, and your hard work."

"I want to point out, as we all have, that the tireless, quiet professionalism of the vast majority of the men and women of our nuclear enterprise should not be damaged by the alleged actions of a few."

"Thank you for your continued support of our triad and our nuclear Air Force."
