Vice President Delivers Air Force Academy Commencement Address
US Dept of Defense, Apr 18, 2020

Vice President Mike Pence delivered the Class of 2020 commencement address at the U.S. Air Force Academy's first virtual graduation, necessitated by social distancing guidelines for the coronavirus pandemic.

No families or friends were allowed to attend today's event.

Pence congratulated the academy's 62nd graduating class, saying he wouldn't want to be anywhere else but at their graduation.

"We gather at a time of national crisis as the coronavirus epidemic impacts our nation and the wider world," he said. The American people, as well as members of the armed forces, have met this challenge with courage, resilience and strength, the vice president added.

Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper, speaking from the Pentagon, congratulated the cadets. He said he expects the cadets to embody the values they learned at the academy: "integrity first, service before self and excellence in all you do."

"Aim high, and congratulations," the secretary told the graduating class.

Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also congratulated the cadets, speaking from the Pentagon.

"Your target is indeed in sight," he said, "but your journey is just beginning. You will serve your country in a time of incredible challenge and increased complexity in the global strategic environment."

The character of war is undergoing fundamental change, the nation's top military officer said, noting that new technologies and radically new doctrines will emerge. "You will be the leaders who lead our country into a distant future," the chairman told the graduating class.

Heard the jets roar over today sitting here on staff duty on Ft. Carson.


Saw a photo of the idiot Liberal (redundant I know) Governor of this state greet VP Pence at Peterson AFB wearing a stupid mask.

The WTF look on Pence's face is priceless.  Polis isn't sick nor contagious, he was in a confined environment, none of the AF staff greeting Pence's plane wore masks.  Only Jared.

Hared wanted to make a statement.  Jared looked like a dumbass instead.
