	Representative Ike Skelton - Weekly Column (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		My dream for Whiteman's future was inspired by a classified briefing I received in 1982 that outlined the Air Force's plans for a new bat-winged bomber.
		There are any number of reasons why Whiteman Air Force Base was the logical choice as the home of the B-2, but I believe the most important reason is the strong support and patriotism shown by the entire community for generations.
		With the B-2 mission firmly established at Whiteman, this base not only has a bright future ahead, but I believe it is also the premier Air Force Base in the nation.

	Address to the Men and Women of Whiteman Air Force Base
		As you know, this base was named for one of the first American airmen killed in combat during World War II—Lt. George A. Whiteman.
		Lt. Whiteman’s P-40 fighter—named the "Lucky Me"—was shot down on Dec. 7, 1941 as he attempted to take off to defend Pearl Harbor.
		It is fitting that from this base which bears his name, the U.S. is launching its response to the first strike on American territory since that attack on Pearl Harbor almost sixty years ago.
