On December 6th, the 482d Fighter Wing conducted a Family Day. It was a way to thank the Airmen and their families for all the hard work and sacrifices they have made throughout the year.

 The events started with a Commander’s Call. The highlight of which, was a highly motivating speech from the base Commander’s high school football coach, Gary Weller.

 Coach Weller shared his story of resiliency after a hit and run left him severely injured and in a coma for 35 days. When he woke up  he was determined to get back to his life and family.

 The rest of the day was full of fun activities that Airmen and their family could enjoy. From organize sports to fun rides for the kids and surprise visit from Santa.

The day ended with over 4,000 services members and their guests enjoyed a free comedy concert that the Air Force Reserve Recruiting team put together that featured a performance from actor and comedian Chris Tucker.
