AFRC commander sends Air Force Reserve birthday message to Citizen Airmen Published April 15, 2013 By AFRC Air Force Reserve Command ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Fellow Citizen Airmen, Happy 65th Birthday to the Air Force Reserve! Since President Truman founded the Air Force Reserve on 14 April 1948, America's Citizen Airmen have served with distinction in defense of our nation. Together, we share a history built upon a proud heritage, which is foundational to our Air Force Reserve story. Our story is not just about our past successes, but also our future. As America's Citizen Airmen, you constantly demonstrate a tradition of innovation by leveraging your unique blend of civilian and military expertise. I'm excited to see the success you'll bring to the Air Force Reserve in the upcoming years.
