Dear Mr. McGrenagan,

Thank You for your inspiring visit to the Black Knights of the 19th Airlift Wing at Little Rock Air Force Base. Your presentation to our Airmen community accomplished what has sometimes been an elusive goal for our commanders and safety staffs. While very entertaining on the surface, your message of personal responsibility coupled with the wingman mindset and the consequences of runaway alcohol use connected with our men and women. That “connection” was keenly evident as our Airmen, young and old, shared anecdotes of personal experience with you immediately after that show. My goal for this unique event was to develop an atmosphere for commanders and supervisors to facilitate our Airmen’s self-promotion of the Wingman philosophy. Your message was right on target as that dialogue continued at venues throughout the base during the remainder of our Wingman Day event. Truly inspiring!

Again, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude and pass along a job well done. You are a “Master” at your craft and a “Patriot” in your cause. Thank you for making the safety and care of our nation’s greatest, our young men and women of the military, your special niche in the comedy profession. It is obvious that you care deeply for their well being.

Sincerely,

GREGORY S. OTEY, Colonel, USAF
