Patriotism and service to country are part of becoming an American Airman at the 932nd Airlift Wing. These moments in life are special when a person raises their right hand and agrees to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic". Here, 932nd Airlift Wing Chief of Public Affairs, Lt. Col. Stan Paregien, stands by the American flag following the oath of enlistment for Dante Jones (third from right), who enlisted into the 932nd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, a flying unit under the United States Air Force Reserve Command, during an event at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. The ceremony with his parents watching took place March 28, 2018, in the 932nd Airlift Wing headquarters near Belleville, and was facilitated by recruiter Tech. Sgt. Nikki Seibel, seen here (at center) proudly witnessing the event. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kaitlyn Kennedy)
