Why I Serve Day 2024

Capt. Christopher Anderson: "I serve because I got interested in it when I was in college with ROTC and I stayed after I did my first deployment in Afghanistan." Capt. Christopher Anderson, 910th Logistics Readiness Squadron director of operations, poses for a photo on the flightline at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, August 20, 2024.
