Employer Appreciation Day set for Aug. 11 Published May 4, 2012 419th Fighter Wing Public Affairs HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- The 419th Fighter Wing will host its annual Employer Appreciation Day here Aug. 11. As in years past, the event will feature an F-16 aerial refueling mission aboard a tanker aircraft (tentative), along with an F-16 static display, tours of work areas, mission briefing, various demonstrations and lunch, which is provided by the local Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve organization. Registration will open June 1 via a link on the 419th FW Web site and closes July 16. Reservists are encouraged to invite their employers to attend and point them to the Web site for registration. Due to space limitations, employers who have attended past EAD events may not attend. The wing hosts EAD each year to thank employers for their support, educate them about the Air Force Reserve, and offer a firsthand glimpse into their employee's role in national defense.
