Family Ties: Unprecedented Deployment for 20 Military Families
“That is one thing about the 148th Fighter Wing member, the family members serving together embody a profound commitment to service, not only to their country but also to each other, united by a shared sense of duty, sacrifice and honor and their service to the Minnesota Air National Guard” said 148th Fighter Wing Commander, Col. Nathan Aysta. Twenty sets of family members from the Minnesota National Guard’s 148th Fighter Wing deployed together, including parents, siblings, spouses, cousins, uncles and nephews.
