U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Jason Bailey, 31st Fighter Wing commander, greets Ilario De Marco, Mayor of Aviano, at an Aviano Alpini Association annual gathering in Piancavallo, Italy, Aug. 2, 2020. Bailey often meets with local civic leaders to help further the 31st Fighter Wing’s strong partnership and friendship with communities surrounding the base. The Alpini associations are mostly made up of veterans from Italy’s mountain military divisions whose history includes activity in World Wars I and II. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
