Navy Adm. Mike Mullen praised the character and courage of the Class of
2010’s members who chose to join an Air Force that’s “literally been at
the tip of the spear since the beginning of the Gulf War” and remains
engaged in combat.
“We’ve been a nation at war for nearly half of your young lives. It’s a
reality you’ve literally grown up with,” he said, surveying the 1,001
graduating cadets assembled in Falcon Stadium. “And yet here you are –
ready to step into the breach, ready to face the enemy’s fire and ready to
take your place in the long blue line that has preceded you.”
Fly you falcons down the field, tear
the enemy asunder!
Bare your talons, make them yield;
give them all your thunder!
Spread your strong wings wide and
high; fight for victory!
Never say die, keep flying high, for
the Air Force Academy!

The Class of 2010 has proven itself worthy of the motto:
"Strength Within"
Brendan Farrar Sullivan, USAFA Class Ring 2010
Our class crest symbolizes this internal strength, and as we
wear our rings, we will continue to embody the strength that
we gain from the experience, good and bad, that the
Academy has given us.
Air Force Graduation 2010
I, Brendan Farrar Sullivan, do
solemnly swear that I will support
and defend the Constitution of the
United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will
bear true faith and allegiance to
the same; and that I will obey the
orders of the President of the
United States and the orders of
the officers appointed over me,
according to regulations and the
Uniform Code of Military Justice.
So help me God.
Brendan Farrar Sullivan
Graduation Day from
USAFA
May 26th 2010
As your Godfather I wanted to congratulate you on 4 years of hard
work, well done. It was a great day and week as we were all
witness to your great achievements. I know the future will not be
easy, though I know that you will be able to do well and
accomplishes what ever you put your mind to. I have a feeling that
flight school and the aircraft you want to fly will take over your bike
but don't give that up either. I know I got a lot of “Just one more"
but that "Just one more" made this book. I could not think of
anything more special to give you that you can look back on for
many years to come. All the best and safe flying.
Love, Uncle Bruce
