VOLUME 37

In this issue, Chief Randy R. Bruegman (Ret.) shares the powerful story of Bill Crawford, a humble U.S. Air Force Academy janitor whose quiet presence and integrity left an indelible mark on future leaders — long before they knew he was a Medal of Honor recipient. It’s a timeless reminder that true leadership isn’t about titles or the spotlight, but about character, humility, and daily example.
