Healthcare professionals and patients of the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs’ Hastings Veterans Home look on as two F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft from the Minnesota National Guard’s 148th Fighter Wing fly over on May 6, 2020 as a part of Operation America Resolve, a nationwide effort to recognize health care workers, emergency responders, food industry and other essential workers throughout the state that have done their part to keep the state functioning during the stay at home order.
"These flyovers are our way of showing solidarity for those who have stepped forward to serve during this pandemic. This is a small way that we can salute those at the forefront of the COVID-19 response for their service and sacrifice." said Minnesota’s Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Jon Jensen.
"Our Guardsmen live and work in these cities. The Minnesota National Guard has units and facilities in 58 communities throughout the state. They have always supported us. This is a small way we can show that we support them too," said Col. Christopher Blomquist, 148th Fighter Wing commander, "thank you for your service."
