This is only part 1, but I hope you follow on for the entire speech. I had the honor of being on Gen Welsh's staff when he arrived at the USAF Academy to assume the role of Commandant of Cadets. The day I met him, I said this guy is going to be the future boss of the AF, and I got it right. He embodies everything I admire in a leader. Please take the time, if you have it, to watch this first speech he gave to the Cadet Wing in 1999. I still get goosebumps every time I see it. I'll try to find the entire series and post the links in the comments.
I do have a transcript. If anybody wants a copy, SMSgt Minister Gerald A. "Doc" Thomas @DM me.

I definitely agree. There are a few more on YouTube from his return trips. All inspiring as heck!
