"The U.S. Air Force was officially established on September 18, 1947. The Air Force began life as the Army Air Corps but became a separate Armed Services Branch when the Department of the Air Force was created by the National Security Act of 1947."

My father served in the Army Air Corps during WW2. After a short stretch of being discharged from the military after the war, he enlisted in the Air Force and completed a 20 year enlistment. We moved often, while I was growing up.

The first memories I have are from Mountain Home AFB in Idaho. I realized then, that one day the west would be my home.
