Honored to be invited to the ceremony at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst that dedicated the 108th Mission Generation Complex building in the name of its former leader and visionary Brigadier General Robert Dutko. The turnout of 100+ included General Officers, other senior leaders, public officials, family and friends. Congratulations General!

And kudos to our own Bryan Branson who, as Honorary Commander for the 108th, worked tirelessly to help with this dedication ceremony celebration. Well done indeed!

AFHM displayed its support to the Amazon.com community outreach in Florence, NJ for their "Back to School" backpack and supplies event at the Township's firehouse last night. Children and families picked up "loads" of free school items while also enjoying some games, pizza, funnel cakes, and drinks. Our mobile unit gave them a glimpse of NJ military history as well.

What a great "Living History" program yesterday at the Burlington County Historical Society/Lawrence House complex. British Naval pilot Richard Moody gave a most interesting talk about his career that included duties in the service of Queen Elizabeth II aboard the royal yacht with the honor of dining with her on multiple occasions! Books on his exploits were also available for attendees as signed by him. A most interesting presentation indeed.
