Hanscom celebrates Arbor Day
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. -- Col. Lester A. Weilacher, 66th Air Base Group commander, holds up a tree as students from Hanscom Middle School participate in the tree planting ceremony on the east side of Eglin Street, across from the clinic, April 26. Arbor Day is held on the last Friday in April and is used to celebrate how trees enrich people's lives. Trees at Hanscom help to clean the air, conserve soil, moderate temperature and bring nature into a person's daily life. (U.S. Air Force photo by Mark Herlihy)
