Colonel Kevin E. Blanchard, 355th Fighter Wing commander, recognized two local Tucsonans as "Community Wingman" at a ceremony here yesterday in appreciation for their tremendous support of the base and its Airmen.

Council Member Shirley Scott and Mr. Mike Grassinger were inducted as D-M "Community Wingmen" at a ceremony attended by base leadership and previously recognized D-M Community Wingman.

Ms. Scott has been a staunch supporter of the base as D-M falls within her Ward 4 Council District for the City of Tucson. Mr. Grassinger, Principle of The Planning Center and former D-M 50 President, has volunteered an overwhelming amount of time in service to the base and its Airmen.

The Davis-Monthan Community Wingman program recognizes Tucson community leaders who have given tremendous support to our Airmen and many D-M missions. Induction as a D-M Community Wingman solidifies the strong bond this city has with its local Airmen.
