Why We do It: Misawa Air Base First Responders
35th Fighter Wing
Video by Senior Airman Joao Marcus Costa
Nov. 22, 2023 | 2:30
First responder Airmen assigned to the 35th Fighter Wing come together to share why they dedicate themselves to the first responder mission at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Nov 22, 2023. A first responder is a person whose job entails being the first on the scene of an emergency, such as a firefighter or police officer. The job can require an abundance of personal sacrifices to keep the local community safe. (U.S. Air Force video by 35th Fighter Wing Public Affairs) More
