When my dad passed away I was just an A1C who had only been in about a year. AFAS helped me make it home in time to see him before he died. When I think about my dad now – 14+ years later – I know I had a real chance to say goodbye and that has helped me deal with his passing.
AFAS helped my family when I was a young Airman. Taking care of our own is important. It feels good to contribute to the Society.
