Honoring Excellence at the 26th Annual Raincross Trophy Dinner

I was truly honored to attend the 26th Annual Raincross Trophy Dinner this past week in Riverside. This event is a powerful reminder of the deep bond between our community and the men and women of the Fourth Air Force.

A highlight of the evening was the opportunity to sit with the 927th Air Refueling Wing from MacDill Air Force Base, FL. Their dedication to the mission is inspiring, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations.

It was also a privilege to connect with Colonel Bryan M. Bailey, Commander of the 452nd Air Mobility Wing at March Air Reserve Base, and James Vass, Post Commander of VFW Post 8547.

As a member of the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce, I am proud to support the Military Affairs Council in recognizing the "Best of the Best" in the Air Force Reserve. To all who serve: thank you for your commitment and sacrifice.
