He thanked the city and praised local support for military families, saying in part, "On behalf of the men and women and the children, standing here, our over 22,000 men and women on Robins Air Force Base, I want to thank you all, the city of Warner Robins, for what you do for the installation." He noted that military children attend local schools and that the city supports families during frequent moves and deployments.
