TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Operation Gratitude is an annual event that has become a tradition for the 349th AMW. This year the event will be on June 18 and will be the eleventh year members from Team Travis have reach out to those who have serve before them.

Operation Gratitude is simply an opportunity to say "thank you" and spend some time with our Nation's Veterans while serving a champagne brunch. By the end of the day, however, it always ends up being a lot more.

Donations for this event are needed. Also volunteers for the planning committee and food preparation. Participation is open to everyone, regardless of affiliation. POCs for this year's event are Tech. Sgt. Jeff Forzaglia, (707) 424-7918 or via e-mail at jeffrey.forzaglia.1@us.af.mil and Senior Master Sgt. Don Davis, (707) 424-8405 or via e-mail at donald.davis.8@us.af.mil.
