buy homes, pay taxes, at- tend local schools, and vote in the same cities and states in which they serve. Hosting an elite force of Reservists is a source of pride for Jimenez and her colleagues, who know Tucson and Portland will retain and benefit from these talented heroes and their families.
Beatty emphasized this point, but focused most of his remarks on how impressed he is with the Airmen of the 943rd RQS. He lauded their

accomplishments making rescues during hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, and more recently Florence; and spoke about how amazing his team is to maintain the pace of ci- vilian requirements, deploy- ment taskings, and constant training to maintain readi- ness and aircraft reliability.
“These things we do, that others may live,” said Beatty, echoing the rescue mantra.
The commander and his team have an obvious pas- sion and excitement for ser-

vice. Their service is another outstanding component of the more than 34 mission partners who make Davis- Monthan Air Force Base a premier Air Force asset and pride of Tucson.
The 943rd Rescue Group is always seeking new per- sonnel to join its very unique and specialized mission. For more information about the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 943rd RQG, call Master Sgt. Robert Capogrosso at 520- 298-2322.

Once at Boeing, Krier said she had no idea how much larger-than-life the Rosie icon would become. “We worked because we had a job to do ... it wasn’t my job, your job, it was our job — we had to save our country.”
And, she noted, it was only after the war was over that the posters skyrocketed in popularity.
Dawn Goldfein, spouse to Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein, hosted the Pentagon tour with Krier, noting her story can inspire a “We Can Do It!” attitude among new generations of young women around the world.
“Mae is an American treasure, a true iconic legacy who knows what it means to be a part of something bigger than herself and give back,” Goldfein said. “Girls and women of all ages can benefit from her ex- traordinary story and be inspired to change the world as she and all the Rosies did.”
Today, military and civilian women hold positions of power across the globe, signal- ing a new and irreversible era of positive change in the women’s rights and equality movement.
“It’s so amazing for our generation to see this, because my mother only got the right to vote when I was about 4 years old,” Krier said. “I’ve lived through 16 presidents but never thought I’d get to see and experience the things I have today.”
Now Krier, who was married to her husband, Norm, for nearly 70 years before his death, is a mother, grandmother and great-great grandmother. They met during a jitterbug dance in Seattle in 1944 before they wed in 1945.
When the Air Force chief of staff and dozens of Pentagon workers surprised her with a visit and a birthday cake, Krier wasted no time reminding him of her contribution to the U.S. war effort many moons ago.
“They never lost a B-17 because of a bad rivet,” Krier said over applause and laughter.

plenty of room for it to grow. However, Howard is confident that over time it will prove to be the life-saving vital resource our Airmen need to continue the high- end fight and maintain readiness as well as lethality.
“We want to recognize an issue before something goes wrong,” Howard said. “We may never know if we saved a life, because an Airman could be fine right now, but in six months they may have those suicidal ideations. But if we catch the issue beforehand, then that Airman will continue completing the mission and feel taken care of.”
meet with their group’s leadership to de- termine what areas the CAS team needs to focus upon. Given the diverse mission set Davis-Monthan AFB presents, it is vital that the CAS teams are tailored to the individual needs of every group and squadron.
“There are eight CAS teams across the base, each dedicated to their own group,” Howard said. “It’s up to the group how often the CAS team will come in and provide those services the Airmen need.”
