A year ago, when I retired, I was cleaning out my office, and a co-worker asked, “Who put this playbook together? It’s incredible!” As I thought back to those days of your leadership, I had flashbacks. I calmly smiled and said, “That would be Colonel Craft.” Great memories! Sir, as you retire after an illustrious 30+ year career, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations and deepest gratitude for your exceptional service. Your unwavering dedication and visionary leadership in setting the standards for cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection have been nothing short of transformative. Few people understand the risks posed by the loss of ICT, and even fewer take it upon themselves to lead and make change management a reality. Thank you for your extraordinary commitment and tireless efforts. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement, knowing that you have made an indelible mark on our nation's security.

Sir, say it isn’t so. Congratulations on your pending retirement. You’re truly an exceptional leader, and someone that many of us can learn so much from. My hope is that we have a generation of others who follow in your footsteps and make a comparable impact.

It was great working with you while you were at DODIN. Congrats to you and your family. Make sure to take time to decompress with them this summer and enjoy a few months off. No rush to jump back in the game, its not going anywhere.
