Retiree Appreciation Day

Steve Zalesky served in the Air Force for 21 years. He started out as a security forces member and later moved to manpower. A humbled man, he shied away from the veteran appreciation attention and offered names of other veterans he felt deserving. In responding to what the most meaningful part of the military was for him, Zalesky said, “I think in the end it always comes down to the commitment to serve.” Even though he retired, he continues to work on base, extending his commitment.
