Class of 1979
Air Force, 20+ Years
Proudly served in Munitions and as a Civil Engineer. I have been to Korea, Germany, Scotland ,Canada and all over the US. I have seen and experienced things that I only read in books. But the best that has come from my service was meeting my wife on the other side of the US. God Bless the US and her citizens and if asked I would do it all again. But the torch has been passed to the younger of us, so remember them in your prayers and your hearts.
