August 23 – Base tour of the Portland Air National Guard’s 142nd Fighter Wing. I spent a wonderful day with the special operations units called Pararescue Jumpers or PJ’s as they are often called. I am amazed at everything these men and women do to save lives. The PJs are responsible for providing emergency and life-saving services to airmen, soldiers and civilians in both peacetime and combat environments. They truly live up to their motto, “That Others May Live.”
