Peterson AFB- Driving Excellence and Innovation- Today and Tomorrow!

Congrats to James Traverse and Vanessa Dickinson, “I Killed” raffle book winners!

It was so wonderful to be at Peterson AFB yesterday.  I had a great time with you all at the club and thank you for showing me so much love!  Let’s do it again soon, what  do you say? Peterson Air Force Base is a U.S. Air Force base that shares an airfield with the adjacent Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. Developed as a World War II air support base for Camp Carson, the facility conducted Army Air Forces training and supported  Cold War air defense centers at the nearby Ent Air Force Base, Chidlaw Building, and Cheyenne Mountain Complex.  The base has been the location of the Air Force Space Command headquarters since 1987 and has had NORAD/NORTHCOM command center operations since the 2006 Cheyenne Mountain Realignment placed the nearby Cheyenne Mountain Complex centers on standby.   a HUGE thank you to Dr Julie and SFC Cruz and colleagues for ALL of your efforts in hosting me and bringing my “Comedy With a Four Star Message” to Peterson.
