“I would like to recognize two senior airmen, brothers from south Jersey whose commitment to this country and their family embody all that makes America so amazing. Thomas ``Jeff'' Dahl, Jr., and Charles Dahl are the sons of Lieutenant Colonel Tom and Jennifer Dahl. Jeff joined the New Jersey Air Force National Guard in January 2018 as a fuel systems apprentice and currently attends Rutgers University in New Jersey. Charles Dahl joined the National Guard in May 2019 as a munitions assistant apprentice. Both men are avid and well-known outdoorsmen, and they are committed to their community and south Jersey. These young men are in the pool to deploy with the 177th Fighter Wing in 2021. This carries on a family legacy of combat deployments going back to their grandfather, who deployed to Korea, and their father, who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Men, you inspire all of us with your lives and the future that I know will be an inspiration for many others. I was happy to crash your party that day and get to know you just a little bit better. God bless you, God bless what you do, God bless your bravery, and God bless the United States of America. ____________________”
