A Legacy of Service: The Fifteenth Air Force Reunions

The Fifteenth Army Air Force reunion last October was a memorable one. About 250 people attended and all shared stories, photos, memorabilia, and smiles as they honored those who fought for our freedom. I look forward to joining this living legacy at the next reunion in Rapid City, SD, September 25 to 28, 2025.

Operation: Knoxville

The placement of my father's book in military museums and university archives is one of our key publishing goals. Among these, the University of Tennessee library has held special significance as my father's alma mater. This summer, the book found a permanent home in the University veteran archives.

I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams

This time of year can be bittersweet for military families. As the year closes and many celebrate the holidays, the absence of those who are serving, who might otherwise be home with the family, is most strongly felt. The letters of Captain Richard “Eager” Evans illustrate this tension between the “call of home” and the “call of duty”.
