Along with 914 other Airforce graduates. Video of Vice President giving the welcoming speech to the troupes. Starts at 43:59 in the video from the Airforce.

Here is a snippet of what AOL's take away is from Pence going.

"Pence, who heads the White House’s coronavirus task force, originally planned to address the graduating class by video, but his office announced Tuesday that he would attend in person.

Pence’s last-minute decision to make the trip to Colorado goes against his own task force’s recommendation to stay at home during the pandemic and limit any nonessential trips.

Some of the vice president's staff sat next to each other on the flight from Washington to Colorado. Pence was greeted on the tarmac by Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, who was wearing a face mask with the state flag's pattern. Pence did not wear a mask.

Other lawmakers including Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., addressed the class via video messages. Defense Secretary Mark Esper and other Pentagon officials also offered their congratulations through video messages."

I’m shocked they haven’t also reported that the Thunderbirds, in addition to VP Pence’s flagrant disregard were also not practicing any social distancing.

I think of Moonraker....

The flag

Actually, space force is crucial to our future national security. Control space, control the battle field. We have no choice, when Russia and China are doing the same.

Cool Flag.
