JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
The Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Retiree Activities Office held an event honoring Retiree Appreciation Day Nov. 3.
The event allowed military retirees and their spouses to get in touch with resources available to them and reinforced the partnership between JBSA and the retiree community.
“We have one of the largest retiree populations in the United States here in the JBSA area,” said Brig. Gen. Laura Lenderman, 502nd Air Base Wing and JBSA commander. “We couldn’t do what we do here at JBSA without your support. Not only do we thank you for your service in the past, we thank you for what you continue to do for us.”
The event gave retirees information on how to get ID cards, space available travel, pharmacy, medical, legal, financial and other services.
“The objective is to bring together all of the services retirees may need, or want, and help them get it,” said Jon Lindgren, JBSA-Randolph Retiree Activities Office director. “I want every retiree out there to know that the retiree office is available to them and to come use it. We are here for them, but if they don’t come then we can’t help them.”
