The Air Force Enlisted Village in Shalimar, Fla., has opened its new assisted-living residence, called Hawthorn House. According to village officials, the 64-apartment facility is the culmination of a “38-year dream.” The first resident to move in, Marcia Solhein, said, “Instead of [the] elderly, ill women that we are, we feel like special guests who are loved, pampered and well cared for.”
With Congress considering another continuing resolution to cover the rest of fiscal 2025, the Space Force’s No. 2 officer asked lawmakers to give the service “flexibility” to deal with budget uncertainty.
