Westfield - The 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard proudly presented an up close and personal look at their new F-15 Eagle Fighter to over 40 employers who traveled from across the state to attend this impressive event. During the course of their visit, employers received operational briefings and a small arms demonstration. Personnel of the Army Aviation Support Facility flew two Blackhawk and one Kiowa helicopters with the employers on board. The twenty minute flights were flown in perfectly clear skies over the lush green country of the Pioneer Valley.

The day ended with a luncheon that included an ESGR briefing and closing remarks. Program Support Specialist, Dave St. Germain, reported that he received more than 50 Statements of Support signed by the employers that were present as well as a number from employers unable to attend. In addition to Mr. St. Germain, the following ESGR leaders provided assistance and support: Program Coordinator SFC Richard Reynolds, Military Outreach Director Bill Hebert, Southeast Mass Area Chair Joaquim-Ingo Borowski, and Awards Director Roger Fortin.
