Yesterday airmen and community members gathered at the Columbus Club to attend Col. Anthony Sansano's, Columbus AFB 14 MSG Commander, Farewell breakfast. It was filled with many baseball gifts, inside jokes, and touching words. Columbus AFB is sad to say goodbye to Col. Sansano but grateful for the incredible impact he and his family has had on #TeamBLAZE. To say the Sansano's will be missed is an understatement. We appreciate your and Amanda's service, Sir! #MSG #Servantleader #homerun #Yankees
