Nestled in the heart of Northern Nevada's rugged high desert terrain, you'll find a treasure with profound historical significance - Naval Air Station Fallon. Whether you've walked these grounds in the past or find yourself stationed here now, the essence of NAS Fallon's true strength doesn't reside solely in the buildings within its gates or the fighter jets that powerfully soar overhead. No, it resides in the men and women who have, and continue to, selflessly and honorably serve our great nation. 

Here's to those who, in years long gone by, stood valiantly against tyranny on distant shores. Here's to those who've been steadfast in the National Guard, ready to respond in times of both war and peace. Here's to every branch of the military and to those who have served and those who continue to serve, both on home soil and across the seas. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who have retired, those who bear the scars of service, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We honor and deeply appreciate the unwavering dedication of our American heroes - our veterans. 

The history of our nation is intricately woven with threads of sacrifice and service. Countless men and women have left behind their homes and families, answering the call to protect the cherished freedoms we hold dear. Each soldier's story, a unique thread, contributes to the tapestry of our hard-earned liberty. Their stories are worth telling. 

On Veterans Day, we pause to recognize the unwavering dedication of those who have worn the uniform, both in the past and the present, safeguarding the very essence of our liberty. Their commitment to duty, honor, and country forms the bedrock upon which our great nation stands, and to them, we owe our deepest gratitude. 

We solemnly pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives in the service of our nation. Their memory is etched into the annals of history, a stark reminder of the price of freedom. We also stand in solidarity with those who bear the physical and emotional wounds of their service, pledging our unwavering support for their healing and well-being. 

In the face of adversity and danger, our veterans have shown us the true meaning of freedom. Their service and sacrifice have paved the way for us to relish the liberties we hold dear. Their steadfast commitment to duty, honor, and country stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of America. 

As we gather in our quaint town, nestled in the shadow of Naval Air Station Fallon, let us not only remember but genuinely appreciate the historical significance of our veterans. Let our gratitude extend to those who have served and continue to serve; they are the true architects of our nation's freedom. The price they've paid and continue to pay is beyond measure, and for that, we are eternally thankful. 

Within their stories, their unwavering dedication, and their sacrifices, we find the very essence of our community's spirit. As we salute our American veterans, it's not with grand gestures but with the profound knowledge that their service has truly set our nation free. 

In our modest town, where the desert meets the sky and where the spirit of service is an ever-present force, we honor our veterans, our heroes, and our local champions. They are the guardians of our freedom, the embodiment of duty, honor, and country, and they are the reason we stand as a free nation today.

One of my most favorite stories Paul told dated back to the late 60s or early 70s and it revolved around him killing a deer way out in the mountains. Naturally the deer ran down into a deep canyon and died. Knowing that it would take him forever to haul it out he devised an awesome plan. After preparing the deer he drove back to NAS Fallon and rustled up a SAR crew and they flew out and picked up the deer. Of course it was labeled as a training flight but what the hell in those days you could do that sort of thing. Rest in Peace my friend until we meet again!!Comment publication date: 4/11/24, 1:15 PMComment source: Obituary - LCDR Paul N PflimlinComment author: THughesComment text: So sad to hear.
