Man on the street: ‘tis the season

By Airman 1st Class Derek Seifert | 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs | Nov. 21, 2016

JOINT BASE LANGELY-EUSTIS, Va. —

With the holidays approaching, the 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs office asked members of Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia a few questions regarding the holiday season.

 

What are you thankful for?

 

“You get to be older like I am, you’re thankful for your health. Pretty much, as long as you got enough money to pay the rent and good health, that’s everything,” said U.S. Air Force retired Senior Master Sgt. Bill Fitzgerald.

 

 

“I’m thankful for the uniform, thankful for our troops and thankful to wake up every day,” said U.S. Army Capt. Eric Collier, Aid De Camp at Scott Air Force Base.

 

 

What traditions does your family have?

“Getting the family together and having a good time and watching football of course,” said Tom Iannaggi, Army Training Support Command publicist.

 

 

What are you doing for thanksgiving?

“Bringing in single Soldiers and feeding them because they can’t go home to their families,” said Jennifer Linzmeier, Fort Eustis Transportation Museum gift shop manager.

 

“Well I’m going to be with family and friends and the big thing is to thank god for everything he has provided for me, my family and the nation,” said U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Janio Anderson, 97th Transportation Company watercraft operator.

 

“I am cooking a ton of food. I have a bunch of friends coming over to just enjoy the holiday and relax and have a good time,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Maura Warren, Air Combat Command Manpower and Personnel services director’s action group deputy.

To all 633rd Air Base Wing Members, On the Fourth of July, we celebrate the birth of our great nation, the United States of America. On this day, 242 years ago, the signing of the Declaration of Independence took place. Our independence is possible because of the men and women of our Armed Forces who continually defend our freedom. As we come together in the enduring spirit of America, let us be grateful for the blessings that freedom represents and for the opportunities it affords. While enjoying this holiday, I stress the importance of sound Risk Management - using seat belts, not speeding, and not driving while fatigued or intoxicated. Also, if your holiday plans include recreational activities such as swimming, sports and hiking, measures to prevent injuries should be a top priority. Thank you for all that you do. My family and I extend our best wishes to all of you for a safe and happy Fourth of July holiday this week. Thank you Col Tyler Photographs by: SrA Tristan Biese, 633rd ABW/PA
