Forty retired members of the Kentucky Air National Guard were honored by the 123rd Airlift Wing here April 12 when a plaque bearing their names was unveiled in front of the Lt. Gen. John B. Conaway Headquarters Building.
The black granite slab lists the names of Airmen who served 20 or more years and were honorably retired or transferred from the Kentucky Air National Guard in 2024. It joins nine others recognizing every retiree since the unit’s inception in 1947.
“Each of us, in our own individual silos, have contributed to the greater good for our state and for domestic operations missions to our country and to each other,” said Chief Master Sgt. James Tongate, outgoing state command chief master sergeant at Joint Force Headquarters—Kentucky. “Each of us has played a role in supporting the mission and our people. This plaque is part of that legacy.”
The monument is sponsored with donations to the non-profit Kentucky Air National Guard Retiree Group Inc.
