City of San Antonio recognizes U.S. Air Force birthday

By Taylor Curry 502nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs

Ron Nirenberg, Mayor of San Antonio, and Brig. Gen. Randy Oakland, Joint Base San Antonio and 502nd Air Base Wing commander, met with a group photo of veterans and service members for the recognition ceremony in honor of the U.S. Air Force’s 77th birthday, at San Antonio City Council Chambers in San Antonio, Texas, on Sept. 12, 2024.

Each year, a ceremony is held at the chambers and a cake is sliced and passed to the oldest airman and then to the youngest, to not only recognize the anniversary of the branch, but to symbolize the relationship the city has with JBSA.
