Air Force Reserve Tech. Sgt. Wade Bowser of the 919th Security Forces Squadron displays an M-249 combat machine gun for visiting civilian employers touring Duke Field July 9. Each year, reservists from the 919th Special Operations Wing are encouraged to invite their employers to Employer Appreciation Day, an event aimed at praising their support and informing and educating them on the vital roles their reservist "Citizen Commandos" play in national defense. Employers received a mission briefing from the wing's commander, toured several squadron work centers and took a local area flight aboard one of the wing's MC-130E Combat Talon aircraft.
