Wing commander speaks to Cobb Leaders Published April 24, 2013 By Senior Airman Elizabeth Van Patten 94th Airlift Wing Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Col. Timothy Tarchick, 94th Airlift Wing commander, met with members of the Cobb Leadership program on April 17 at the POW/MIA park on Dobbins Air Reserve Base. Cobb Leadership was invited to the base to learn more about the missions of the various units on Dobbins ARB. Tarchick shared his leadership philosophy and answered questions. "Every leader has to have character, integrity, and be humble," said Tarchick. "Leaders need to remember it's not about them. It's about others." Tarchick quoted a personal friend who said, "The deepest joys in life are not when people are hailing you in your status, but when they are helped by you in your service." Tarchick observed a moment of silence to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice as members of Cobb Leadership presented a wreath. "We are engaged in combat every day," said Travis Ellis, of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce. "Since the dawn of this nation, members of our military have been laying down their lives so that we can live free. It's our obligation not to forget the sacrifices being made."
