AFMC Commander's Log -- Memorial Day and Critical Days of Summer Published May 23, 2014 By Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger Air Force Materiel Command commander WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- Team AFMC, This weekend we observe Memorial Day. As Americans, we enjoy an unprecedented level of freedom -- freedom gained and maintained at great price and sacrifice. Please take some time to reflect on the sacrifices of those who paid that price to preserve our freedom. This weekend is also the start of The Critical Days of Summer. The Air Force theme for this summer's campaign is "Double Checks, Not Second Thoughts." We all must actively exercise sound risk management in everything we do, both on- and off-duty. So, while you are enjoying summer to its fullest, make the choice not to become a statistic. I thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the AFMC mission. Wolf and I hope you thoroughly, and safely, enjoy the weekend and the summer. General Wolfenbarger
