Retiree Appreciation Day

Retired Rear Admiral Lee Metcalf, key note speaker for the event, encourages retirees to continue their service by interacting with the generations that followed them, Oct. 7, 2017, Scott Air Force Base, Ill. "Don't cut yourself out of the game," said Metcalf, as he referred to the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes. "'People do not quit playing because they grow old. They grow old because they quit playing.' So don't quit playing." Retirees had the opportunity to take advantage of information booths from organizations like the American Legion, Red Cross, Air Force Sergeants Association, Veteran’s Affairs, and Airman and Family Readiness Center, as well as have the opportunity to receive immunizations and update identification cards.
