Alvin Fox on his Air National Guard service:

I served for 25 years in the TN Air National Guard , and I enjoyed every minute of it. I started as an Airman Basic, and retired as a Lt. Colonel. Most of my career was in Logistics and Supply. However, I had 4 years as the Supply Officer for the Marksmanship Training Unit, located in Nashville. We were responsible for promoting Marksmanship for the Army and Air National Guard units throughout the country. This Unit is now located in Little Rock, AR. My service in the Guard was especially important to me, as my parents had fled Europe in the late 1930's, and were able to escape the Holocaust. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins were not as fortunate. Except for Kate Smith, no one could sing "God Bless America" with more feeling and gusto as my wonderful Mom, Bertha. My oldest granddaughter is named for her. - from Alvin Fox
