To celebrate America's 248th birthday, the USAF Band of Mid-America's Concert Band is joined by The St. Louis Children's Choirs performing "The New Colossus," also featuring vocal soloist Airman 1st Class Jessie Dunnavant. One of the most recognizable monuments in the United States, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France in 1885 and has since become a national symbol of liberty and freedom. The poem "The New Colossus" was written by Emma Lazarus in 1883 to help raise money for construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty's arrival. In 1903 it was cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal's lower level. Lazarus considered the poem a way to comfort refugees immigrating to the United States, and to demonstrate to them that the country represented freedom, enlightenment, and compassion.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
