We're celebrating 242 years of democracy, justice and freedom! Have a happy Independence Day!

Yesterday, we celebrated Old Timer's Day at the 103rd Airlift Wing. Old Timer's Day is a day that former members of the unit come together to catch up and have a good time. The unit would not be what it is today if it were not for the hard work and dedication of those who came before us. We give special thanks to all of the "Old Timers"!

Congratulations to our own Senior Airman Tyler Carlson for earning the Leadership Award during his time at Airman Leadership School!

Congratulations to our own Senior Airman Deonarine Sumeersarnauth for earning the Distinguished Graduate Award and an Academic Achievement Award at Airman Leadership School!

The 103rd Airlift Wing would like to wish all the dads a happy Father’s Day!

Happy Flag Day! Today, America recognizes the 241st birthday of Old Glory. The Continental Congress adopted it as the official flag of the new republic on June 14, 1777. President Woodrow Wilson later issued a proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14. Describing the flag when adopted as America's official flag, Congress wrote, "White signifies purity and innocence; red, hardiness and valor; blue signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice." These words still ring true today with many Americans looking to the flag as a symbol of freedom and of those who died to preserve that freedom. (http://www.af.mil)
