On this day in 1944, thousands of brave Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy. They faced unimaginable fire, uncertainty, and sacrifice so that freedom could prevail. Their courage changed the course of history.
Today we honor every hero who fought, every soul we lost, and the Greatest Generation that saved the world. We will never forget.

Yesterday, U.S. Special Operations Command North hosted our own Brig. Gen. Tod M. Fenner, Assistant Adjutant General of the Colorado National Guard, and personnel from the Special Operations Detachment - North (SOD-N) for a strategic engagement at Peterson Space Force Base.
The visit highlights the vital ongoing integration between the federal theater special operations command and its dedicated National Guard augmentation force. SOD-N provides essential staff support to SOCNORTH, directly enabling joint operational readiness, homeland defense, interagency crisis response, and Arctic domain awareness across the U.S. Northern Command area of responsibility.

Meet Your Home Guard!
Staff Sgt. J Petrie’s spirit of service comes full circle!
Petrie joined the Colorado Air National Guard 22 years ago as a metals technologist, machining and welding to repair the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft and support equipment. This skill transferred to his civilian career where he works as a contractor in a Department of War investment program working with new technologies and capabilities. Now, Petrie is preparing to take his next big step: commissioning as an officer within the 140th.
“On the outside, I have a really good civilian career, and I wouldn't have had that without the springboard of this training,” he said. “So I took this training, went out in the civilian world, into a machine shop, ultimately running the machine shop, leading a huge team of people, and I wanted to really bring those skills back here and help lead here by developing more people.”
A Colorado resident for 25 years and a "guard baby" in the Air National Guard, Petrie has spent over two decades balancing his military duty with a robust civilian career. “Everything that we do here, hopefully, deters an adversary's future actions on our homeland, which protects my family.”
From managing civilian teams to commissioning in the Guard, the environment may change, but his commitment to protecting his family, developing his people, and serving his country remains seamless.
Petrie’s spirit of service is also rooted in his family legacy. “I lived close by and saw the jets flying all the time,” he said. “My dad was active duty in the Air Force back in Vietnam, and so I thought I’d check out the Guard.”
“I think the other thing is just how unique and how rare of an opportunity it is to serve,” he said. “If we look at the United States population, and how many people put their hand up to serve, and then, if you break that down into this career field, you see how much of a limited number of people there are who volunteer and can do the job and qualify to do the job. It's such a small, small number of people. It's just unique and special.”
