Today marks the 73rd birthday of the United States Air Force. As we face the rise of near peer threats -- it's a good day to remember the Army Air Corps transition to the USAF is the epitome of the current CSAF's guidance -- Accelerate Change or Lose.
The 177th Fighter Wing's newest First Sergeant, Master Sgt. Jennifer Hall, graduated from the First Sergeant Academy virtually. Hall will serve as the first sergeant for the 177th Civil Engineer Squadron. Congrats!
NJANG members conducted a retreat ceremony May 22, 2020, for the residents of the Vineland Veterans Memorial Home in honor of Memorial Day to memorialize Veterans who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. #MemorialDay2020

This #MemorialDay remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our Nation. Brave Americans who died protecting the freedoms we hold dear. Remember too their families who find themselves facing another new normal during this pandemic. #HonorThem
#GenMilley: "We have a solemn duty to remember all those who've gone before us & fought & died for the cause of freedom. May we never forget their grit, determination & sacrifice to uphold the democratic ideals for which our nation is known."
