Top Air Force Enlisted Leader to Retire Following Wife's Death
The Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, David Flosi, announced his retirement in an email to the force on October 13, citing the sudden death of his wife, Katy.
"My family and I have decided to change the capacity in which I will serve our Airmen and this Nation we love,"
Flosi wrote, "After nearly 30 years in uniform, I am retiring from active-duty service, to ensure I take care of our family and learn to live with Katy in a new way, to continue to honor her as I should."
Katy Flosi died unexpectedly due to medical complications in September, prompting CMSAF Flosi to release a statement referring to her as a "wife, mother, and fierce friend."
