Tyndall Continues Rebuild 7 Years After Hurricane Michael 

After Hurricane Michael decimated Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, 49 rebuilding projects have been in progress to revive the base and bring it into the future. An Army report recently covered the projects, including 25 to be completed this year. The base is also preparing to host the new F-35 Lightning II. 

Veteran App Brings Community Together 

CBS recently covered the app Badger: Operation Family, created by a veteran to improve the transition when returning from deployment. The app provides “missions” for users, which bring together local veterans for community service activities, encouraging them to share videos and chat with each other. The program recently helped distribute 1,500 toys to children during the holidays.
