They can keep those Fabio types. THIS is the sort of guy I want to see on the covers of romance novels!
My former student and Godson Jason is in the California Air National Guard and is based at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, Ca. He is a Personnelist.He happened to be doing his two weeks active duty during this crisis. The Mission of the Grizzlys is to do refueling missions, but they sent 150 Airmen to the Gulf Coast. 75 were for security and 75 helped distribute the 92,000 MRE's they sent. (MRE's are by and large delicious, by the way. There are very few I have not tried.) They are now bringing a wad of refugees to Riverside and putting them up in abandoned base housing. Jason only helped cut orders to get the job done, but as far as I am concerned, he is one of the Hero cogs in the wheel that is why
"We will be just fine, thank you. This is the U.S. A."
