They Said It
Oak Harbor Mayor Bob Severns: …NASWI remains strong and continues to practice flying aircraft in preparation to safeguard our freedom. But the heroes at NASWI in Oak Harbor provide much more than just defending us and our freedom.…
NASWI’s positive contributions to our city, county, state and country far outweigh any negatives. Therefore, I support our NASWI for all of the above reasons and, as the signs say around the city, the jets equal jobs.
