As a small boy, he became interested in aircraft and had a good collection of cigarette cards and "spotter books". The airfield at Hethel became active after the initial 389th aircraft arrived in November 1943, and naturally attracted the young boys in the area.

    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.

  • Grissom Water Utility
    History of Grissom Water Utility On July 1, 1942, the United States Navy opened the Bunker Hill Naval Air Station. According to a U.S. Air Force Fact Sheet titled: History of Grissom Air Reserve Base, Indiana, the base was in operation for four years as a training site for Navy, Marine and Coast Guard pilots. The fact sheet goes on to outline the history of the base with some interesting facts: After World War II the base was closed. The base was reopened as Bunker Hill Air Force Base on June 22, 1954. On May 12, 1968, the base was renamed Grissom in honor of Lieutenant Colonel Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, an astronaut from Mitchell, Indiana, who lost his life tragically in an Apollo capsule fire on January 27, 1967. Baseball legend and Hall of Famer, Ted Williams, was stationed at the base in the 40s. The water plant was built to serve the needs of the Naval base in 1942. The operation was owned and operated by the military until 1994, when the base was deactivated. The operations of the water facility were turned over to the Grissom Redevelopment Authority (GRA) and continued to operate while the base was being reorganized. In 2000, the water and wastewater assets were transferred to Peru Utilities in a public benefits transfer from the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Grissom Water Plant Building – Original Construction, still in use. While the water system was still being operated by the GRA, the State of Indiana constructed the Miami Correctional Facility. The facility is located on the original base and is within easy access of Highway 31.
