Massing of the Colors
As soon as the notes from the Air Force Song were played, all current and former Airmen were asked to stand during the 26th Annual “Massing of the Colors” held Tuesday at Brevard Community College in Cocoa. Standing to honor our nation’s veterans are (left to right) Col. Lisa Ann Onaga, commander, Air Force Technical Applications Center, Chief Master Sgt. John Nederhoed, AFTAC superintendent, Brig. Gen. Edward L. Bolton, Jr., commander, 45th Space Wing and Col. George Pierce, commander, 920th Maintenance Group. Seated at the lower left is Adm. Thad Allen, commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, who served as the guest speaker. (U.S. Air Force photo by Chris Calkins)
