Defenders Visit Capitol Hill‏
by MSgt Cody Stollings, 11 SFS, JB Andrews, MD

Recently (M)Sgt Cody Stollings, 811th Security Forces Squadron, Joint Base Andrews, led a professional development seminar for 15 Airmen to Capitol Hill. These Airmen were selected by their flight leadership to attend for their outstanding duty performance and excellent professionalism. These "Presidential Defenders" were given a private tour of the Capitol, watched a 20 minute introduction video about Congress, observed a session of Senate debate from the Senate Galleries, and had a brief 25 minute sit down with retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Colonel and now Congressman from Ohio, Bill Johnson. Congressman Johnson posted this to his Facebook account: "Yesterday, I met with 16 of our nation's finest warriors. These airmen, all serving in the USAF's Security Forces career field, stopped by to talk about life in today's Air Force...and, to swap a few war stories from my 26 years in the Air Force. We laughed a little, but we also discussed seriously the many global threats to America's national security, including our fight to destroy ISIS. I was honored to spend time with these young heroes who came from across sections of America - from California to Virginia and many other states in between."
