This year, the day will include a tour for spouses of reservists beginning at 7:30 a.m. and then the wing picnic kicks off at 10 a.m.
"This is an important event to bring the 403rd Wing family together and thank them for all of the hard work and sacrifices they make throughout the year to accomplish the mission," said Col. Frank L. Amodeo, 403rd Wing commander.
Spouses will have the opportunity to tour the 403d Wing's 41st Aerial Port Squadron, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, WC-130J and the 81st Training Wing's 81st Medical Group. Reservists must nominate their spouse for the event and forms are due to the 403d Wing Public Affairs Office April 13.
