Memorial Day weekend is a special time to honor those who have served in our armed forces. On Saturday, many generations came together to honor our fallen heroes.
The airdrop and airborne jump is an annual event, but the 100 bundles were assembled for the first time in the logistics squadron’s warehouse. Squadron airmen were joined by Japanese soldiers.
