Today, Director of the Air National Guard, Lieutenant General Harry "Bud" Wyatt visited the 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth, Minn. Lt Gen Wyatt spent most of his day touring the 148th Fighter Wing's state of the art facilities and meeting military personnel.

Lt Gen Wyatt attended a breakfast and luncheon with both Wing leaders and community leaders, where he was given a briefing on the Wing's history, current events and accomplishments.

Additionally, Lt Gen Wyatt addressed a group of civil engineers who will soon be departing for Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.

Prior to departing, Lt Gen Wyatt addressed the entire Wing where he commended the Wing on its past performance and he asked the Wing to continue to give the country the capability it needs at the cost it can afford.

Lt Gen Wyatt stated, "I get to come out and see people who are dedicated to what they do...strong not only in their military careers, but in their civilian careers and connect the Air Force and the military to our country."

Lt Gen Wyatt assumed his position as Director of the Air National Guard in February, 2009.
