4/15/2014 - NIAGARA FALLS RESERVE STATION, N.Y. -- Members
of the 107th Airlift Wing here assembled April 13 at the fitness
testing area here to "Walk a Mile" in observance of Sexual Assault
Awareness Month.
The "Walk a Mile" Awareness event was organized by the 107th Sexual
Assault Prevention office to highlight the Wing's commitment to
eliminate incidents of sexual assault.
"When we all get involved we will move the Air Force closer to a culture
free of sexual assault," said Col. John Higgins, 107th AW commander.
"Sexual Assault Awareness Month is our way to extend this message."
Participants enjoyed a rare warm, sunny April afternoon as they awaited the official start of the walk.
"It's symbolic," said Col. Robert Kilgore before signaling the beginning
of the walk. "I think it's symbolic the fact that our family gathered
together to say we're going to take a stand against this."
The Wing also hosted various topical film screenings, events and table
displays throughout April to raise sexual assault awareness among unit
members.
