Tampa mayor recognizes Guardsmen with unusual honor
10/17/2015 01:00 PM CDT

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn honored local Air National Guardsmen by officially proclaiming Oct. 17, 2015, as 290th Joint Communications Support Squadron Day.

This is the first time that a Florida Air National Guard unit has been recognized with a mayoral proclamation of this kind.

The proclamation recognized the 290th JCSS located at MacDill Air Force Base for providing tactical communications systems during times of crisis, war, and natural disaster recovery. Specifically, deployment teams from the 290th JCSS have participated in Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, and provided emergency assistance during Hurricanes Andrew, Opal, Charlie, Francis, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Rita, Ike, Wilma and Katrina.
