Honoring our veterans
Airmen from JBER’s 525th Fighter Squadron and 3rd Operations Support Squadron spent Veterans Day with veterans who reside at the Alaska Veterans and Pioneers Home in Palmer. Airman Sean Lancaster (center), an aircraft armament specialist, and Airman 1st Class Edgardo Fernandez (far left), both of the 525th FS, visit with veterans after a ceremony which opened in prayer followed by music, the Pledge of Allegiance, and guest speakers delivering messages from military leaders. Fernandez said he really enjoyed spending time with the elderly veterans who had great stories to share. “There’s so much to learn from them,” he said. (U.S. Air Force photo/Erin Eaton)
