And her family as they begin this chapter of service to our nation. Thank you. We came to the floor and spoke about the forest fires in colorado, luckily weve had a great deal of snow on some of the most problematic concentrations and its slowed the fires down tremendously and given us a chance to fight back and make some containment progress so the news on the fire front generally a good news story today with more challenges to come down the road.

Home to one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the grand canyon, and our diverse landscapes, mountains, canyons, lakes, rivers, sunsets, and the powerful desert lightning. After an assignment away i came back to arizona to fly the a10 war
