Wright-Patt eases mask requirements
By London Bishop - lbishop@aimmediamidwest.com
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE Personnel at Wright Patterson Air Force Base who are fully vaccinated are no longer required to wear masks, according to a situation update by base leadership last week.
In a Facebook live town hall on May 19, installation commander Col. Patrick Miller laid out Wright-Patterson’s revised mask policy, stating that fully vaccinated personnel – meaning two weeks have passed since their last dose – are no longer required to wear a mask indoors or outdoors on the installation, effective immediately.
Installation personnel are not entirely out of the woods yet, however. Miller addressed the recent announcements regarding the state of Ohio health orders, emphasizing that Ohio and Wright-Patterson are two different entities.

A veterans group that plans to continue the tradition of a massive motorcycle ride through Washington, D.C., saw an uptick in interest after the Pentagon denied the organization a parking permit.
Rolling to Remember, previously known as Rolling Thunder, planned its annual ride through the district and contacted the Pentagon a year ago to secure a permit to host thousands in its parking lot. After a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic, the group was looking forward to rekindling its three-decade-old tradition over Memorial Day weekend.
In years past, the deal between the two groups was seemingly no issue, but the government body ultimately denied the group a permit due to substantial community spread of COVID in the county and a health threat level in the building.
