 I'm Colonel Denny Gillum. Thanks for joining us today on Frontlines of Freedom. It's a pleasure to welcome to the show retired Air Force General Don Bacon. Don served nearly 30 years in uniform, had several deployments, and he seems to be a guy who just can't stop serving our nation. Welcome, General. Thanks for joining us. Well, thanks for having me on. It's an honor to be with you. Don, tell us about your time in the Air Force. When and why did you join? What did you do?
