MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan -- Earlier this week U.S. Air Force Col. Jesse Friedel, 35th Fighter Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Eberlin, 35th Operations Group chief enlisted manager, recognized eight Airmen for their contribution in fundraising money for the Air Force Assistance Fund (AFAF). The AFAF’s goal is to assist members in the Air Force from Airmen to widows who are in need of assistance financially. The recognized Airmen worked as liaisons for the wing, promoting and informing other Airmen on how to donate to the program.
Misawa raised 91 percent of its goal and was 2nd place in PACAF for total donations.
