It turned into a beautiful day to pay tribute to those who have given all. I'm so glad that 11th Wing JBAB Commander, Col. Ryan Crowley and his wife Lisa, represented Blue Star Families 🇺🇸 and presented a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Look out for the Blue Star Families 🇺🇸 team next week! We'll be conducting our inaugural DC fly-in with our veterans, military spouses and chapter leaders. Get ready for some #BlueStarImpact!


I'm in a competition with my Blue Star Families 🇺🇸 colleagues to see who can get more military/veteran family members to take our annual survey. Take a few minutes to give your input that helps our advocacy efforts. Thanks for your time! #BlueStarImpact tinyurl.com/53zmzrtz
