As we approach the holidays, this time serves as a wonderful opportunity to reflect and think on all that we have to be thankful for. Living in a free country, good health, our family and friends... it's humbling and comforting to have so much to be grateful for. However, there are many in our community and around the world who don't have what we do, and this is where we, as Airmen, have the opportunity to give back. The Combined Federal Campaign allows you to choose the organizations and charities you feel most passionate about and set aside a monthly automatic payment to those groups from your paycheck. It can be as little as two dollars a month. In my time at Dyess, I have experienced incredible generosity and hospitality. I would only ask that you pay your blessings forward. Please talk to the CFC POC in your groups. Thank you so much for all that you do! - Col. David Benson, 7th Bomb Wing commander.
