History of the 176th Wing

Hometown Heroes Salute

In August 2008, the Director Air National Guard sanctioned the ANG Hometown Heroes Salute recognition program. The purpose of this program is to celebrate and honor our Airmen, families, communities and those special supporters who have significantly contributed to supporting our Airmen and the ANG's mission since September 11, 2001.

Join us in celebrating our hometown heroes on Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 1 p.m. in the West Anchorage High School's Auditorium. More than 700 members of the 176th Wing will be recognized for their service.
