Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora is one of the crown jewels in America's arsenal to protect our skies. Yet, as an Air Force veteran who served at Buckley and now as a member of Aurora City Council, I'm concerned that our base, its massive economic impact, and its role in global security remain under threat from short-sighted White House budget decisions. Serving on the flight line at Buckley, assisting with runway operations for, among others, the 140th Wing of the Colorado Air National Guard, was one of the great experiences of my life, and one of which I am deeply proud and grateful.
