HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Retirees and their families from all branches of the military and uniformed services attended a Retiree Appreciation Day Oct. 26 here.
The event gave the base and other agencies an opportunity to voice their gratitude for the dedicated service of the area’s approximately 22,000 military retiree population, and will provide information regarding current services, information, resources and benefits.
This year’s event included speakers from the Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs, 75th Medical Group, TRICARE, Military Personnel Flight and a number of other agencies. In addition, the Davis County Health Department offered flu, tetanus, pneumococcal, shingles, and COVID-19 vaccinations.
Retiree Appreciation Day has been held annually at Hill AFB for more than decade. Last year’s in-person event was canceled because of the pandemic. Instead, resources, information and coupons to base stores that are normally offered to retirees at the event were posted online.
The Hill AFB Retiree’s Activities Office is located in building 430 and can be reached at 801-777-5735 or email at raohill.afb@us.af.mil.
