Airman 1st Class Genia Dessureau, 332nd Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, is deployed from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., and hails from Albany, N.Y. “Veterans Day is a time to reflect and honor all service men and women whom sacrificed their lives for us both past and present, so that we in turn could have a better one. Without our fallen veterans our country wouldn’t be what it is today, because after all, freedom is not free,” she said.
