A record crowd of over 300 attendees gathered for the annual Chamber sponsored State of the Base breakfast, where Grand Forks Air Force Base (GFAFB) Commander, Colonel Tim Monroe, shared an optimistic outlook on the base’s future. Colonel Monroe highlighted current and upcoming missions, including the temporary B-1 bomber mission, and praised the outstanding airmen serving at GFAFB. Military Affairs Committee (MAC) Co-Chair Tim Haddock of Service Credit Union expressed gratitude to Colonel Monroe and the airmen for their service. He also emphasized the many programs the MAC provides throughout the year to support military personnel. As the primary link between GFAFB and the local community, the Chamber’s MAC plays a vital role in fostering strong military-community relations.
