On Sept. 18, 1947, President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act, separating the United States Air Force from the United States Army and establishing a new branch of service. Today, we celebrate this important milestone in our military's history with the 73rd birthday of the Air Force.
I also served in the Air Force 1966 to 1970. Trained to be an autopilot tech. Retired from GM as journeyman electrician. Air Force was the best thing that could have happened at that time.
