Peterson Airmen will recognize the Year of the Air Force Family campaign during the week of Nov. 1 to 7 with family events, open houses and retiree recognitions.
The Year of the Air Force Family is being celebrated Air Force wide. Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, U.S. Air Force chief of staff, designated July 2009 to July 2010 as time to recognize the Air Force family, which is as dynamic and diverse as the Airmen who serve, he said.
