Excellences over the years, our airman have proved they can do an outstanding job working, seamlessly with their active duty counterparts. It would be impossible to name every single individual member of the Airlift Wing from the past 35 years, but we can take a moment and say, thank you to the airman and civilians of the 315th Airlift Wing. As we make plans to celebrate the 35th Anniversary on 14-15 May 2004, it is our desire that you come and join us for this special occasion. It will be a great time to see the changes, meet new military friends and say…Yes…I am/ was a part of the past 35 years of the 315th Airlift Wing’s Squadron/Units. Your presence will mean so much… Plan now to be here for the Anniversary Gala reunion gathering of all the squadrons/units of the 315th Reserve Airlift Wing.
