Honoring a Legacy – Remembering Our Fallen Airmen

At JMark Services, we believe in the profound responsibility to honor those who gave everything in service to our nation. We were deeply privileged to sponsor an honorary plaque commemorating the sacrifice of three Air Force aviators lost in a tragic crash near Valdez, AK, in 1985.

In partnership with the 55th Wing Association, this tribute was presented to the 55th Wing and the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron, where it now stands in the unit’s Heritage Hall—a solemn reminder of their courage and dedication.

JMark was honored to be welcomed by Lt Col Marie Methe, Commander of the 45th RS, and Lt Col John Salvador, Deputy Commander, to witness this tribute firsthand. Their leadership and commitment to preserving the legacy of these heroes ensures that their memory will never fade.

To the families, squadron members, and all who serve—your sacrifices are never forgotten. We honor. We remember. We are grateful.
