For many service members, military life is more than a career. It is a link to the people who first shaped their understanding of duty and strength. And years later, their own paths often begin to mirror the footsteps that inspired them.
Countless service members have family members who also served, and their legacy continues to live on in the military.
Members from the 496th Air Base Squadron Contracting Flight, stationed at Moron Air Base, Spain, recently visited the 725th Air Mobility Squadron stationed at Naval Station Rota, Spain.
