He was submitted for the National AFA TOY Award, as well.

 As this is the 50th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, we thought it would be appropriate to hold our meeting at the NJ Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation, as many of our members are Vietnam War Vets who served during that time. Also, it has the first Vietnam War Museum of its kind in the country.  After our business meeting and the above presentations, we had a tour of the Memorial with guide Ricky Amsterdam of the Museum inside and then of the grounds and monuments outside.

NJ AFA Meeting held on August 6th, 2022, at Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst

The NJ AFA Annual Conference was held on Saturday, 6 Aug 2022, at JB MDL. At the conclusion of the business meeting, Paul Hendricks of the AFA Advocacy Committee spoke about its objective; that is, to encourage members to weigh in with members of Congress to gain support for the passage of the various Defense Appropriations Bills in a timely manner rather than pass a continuing resolution. A continuing resolution prohibits new starts for contracts or programs and severely impacts military readiness. 

At the conclusion, Wayne Placek, Albert Parisi, and Chris Hartney of the Army Air Forces Association did an animated
portrayal of the life of Maj. Thomas B. McGuire Jr. for whom the McGuire Air Force base is named.
He was the second highest scoring American ace of WWII.

NJ AFA Meeting held on November 16, 2021 at Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst

On 16 Nov 2021, Joe Abegg, NJ Pres., center, along with George Filer, Chapter 310 President, and TSgt Nick Freeman, Chapter 360 President, met with Colonels Wes Adams and Robert McAllister, the Commander and the Vice Commander respectively of the 87th Air Base Wing Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst.  He made the following observations:

    We discussed AFA re-engaging the base and restarting of the Thomas B. McGuire Jr, Chapter 360. The Joint Base hosts the largest Air Force Base on the east coast and there are many thousands of former and retired Air Force members residing in the area.  We discussed possibly starting monthly AFA meetings at Tommy B's, Pudgy's, or at the Golf Course Club house after the holidays. Hopefully DoD COVID-19 restrictions will allow for this to happen.

    We also made contact with the base Public Affairs Office and the Protocol Office and we hope to get Press Releases on the base website and invites to Air Force related events.  We also hope to get access to the electronic base marque to announce AFA activities and opportunities. While I am dreaming of possibilities, I would like to organize an AFA led annual Air Force Spring Gala at the Joint Base.
