As a community, we are gratified that Secretary Rumsfeld and his advisors learned during their review what we have known for years: Seymour Johnson AFB, the City of Goldsboro, Wayne County and the State of North Carolina are a tremendous team. It’s a team fully committed to maintaining our nation’s security. Over the years, our community and state have undertaken numerous efforts to support the mission of Seymour Johnson and the Dare County Bombing Range. And we have taken steps to enhance the quality of life for the Air Force personnel and their families. As the BRAC process continues in 2005, we will continue to celebrate this successful partnership between our community and Seymour Johnson. We also will remain vigilant to ensure that Seymour Johnson continues its vital role in our nation’s defense.
