Georgia Wing,

I'm looking forward to what we will accomplish together over the next three years. We'll continue building on the strong foundation laid by those who came before us. I want to thank Col. Willis for his leadership and for helping prepare both the Wing and myself for the future. Because of his efforts, we're in a great position to keep moving forward. We're seeing new technologies improve how we carry out our missions, not just in Emergency Services, but also in how we train and prepare for a changing world. My focus as Commander is our members. I want every member to have the opportunity to grow, contribute, and reach their full potential. That only happens when we work together and help each other succeed.

Georgia Wing,

Thank you for the privilege of serving as your commander for the last three years. It has been an honor to serve alongside you and see the dedication you bring to our missions, our cadets, and one another.

The credit for our successes belongs to you—the members of Georgia Wing. You gave your time, shared your talents, stepped up when needed, and kept moving us forward. Across this wing, your work made a difference. I am proud of what you accomplished and grateful to have been part of it.

Thank you for your trust, your support, and your willingness to serve. Most of all, thank you for taking care of each other. That is what makes Georgia Wing great.

As my time in command comes to a close, I promise you this: I am not going away. I will continue serving GAWG and every member of this great wing. I am excited to see where Col Davidson and all y’all go, and hope that I can help.

Col. Michael Willis
