In his current Letter to Airmen, the secretary of the Air Force talks about November as the designated the month for Warrior Care, and how the Air Force will continue to place Airmen and their families as a top commitment.

"Developing and caring for our Airmen and their families is a top priority. And no task is more important than ensuring our wounded warriors receive the services and support that they need throughout the recovery process," Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley said.

Secretary Donley said that everyone must be aware of the work left to do, such as eliminating any stigma once associated with psychological health issues and implementing preventive measures to that end.

"It is our duty as wingmen to understand the signs of combat-related stress and to do everything in our power to see our fellow Airmen and their families get the assistance they need," he said.

This Letter to Airmen and other senior leader viewpoints can be found in the Library section of Air Force Link.
