Reps. McClintock & LaMalfa Celebrate Promotion of Colonel Bud Anderson to Brigadier General in USAF

Auburn, CA...Colonel Clarence (Bud) E. Anderson of Auburn, California, received an honorary promotion to the grade of Brigadier General in the United States Air Force. General Anderson was decorated 25 times during his 30-year military service including two Legions of Merit, Bronze Star, five Distinguished Flying Crosses, the French Legion of Honor and the French Croix de Guerre and is WWII ‘Triple ACE’ fighter pilot. General Anderson flew 116 combat missions with the 357th Fighter Group when he destroyed more than 16 enemy aircrafts in aerial combat over Europe. He also served in combat in the Vietnam War, where he commanded the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing. General Anderson is well regarded as a test pilot, member of the National Aviation Hall of Fame, and recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal for American Fighter ACE’s. Despite retiring from the Air Force in 1972, General Anderson has remained devoted to aviation, has become a published author, and is a sought-out guest speaker.





Earlier this year, Congressmen Tom McClintock and Doug LaMalfa asked the Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, to consider this promotion. General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, presided over the Honorary Promotion Ceremony on Friday at the Aerospace Museum of California in Sacramento, California.

“Whether in 60 seconds or 60 hours, it’s impossible to do justice to the heroism, patriotism and service that defines the life of Bud Anderson. God bless you, General Anderson. Congratulations on your honorary promotion to brigadier general. Thank you from a grateful nation,” said Congressman McClintock.

“I have been honored to call Bud my friend for over a decade. I always enjoy talking with him about aircrafts and flying, and listening to Bud recount dogfights on his combat missions. His courage in wartime and his distinguished service has made him a national hero, and proves how deserving he is for this honorary promotion. Although I could not be with him in person to celebrate this achievement due to Congressional business in D.C., I extend my best to General Bud Anderson and his family as they celebrate this historic moment,” said Congressman LaMalfa.

Who cares Tom....

Hey Tom, please tell us if you support Donald Trump's demand to terminate the constitution.

Tom, I bet you're too much of a pussy to truthfully answer.

            You are making a FOOL of yourself. About the equal of Herschel Walker education wise. You should stop trying to post intelligent, or intelligible, comments. Ain't got the brain cells dumbo. Keep sending cash to your hero in Florida though. He loves fools like you.

    My God, can these white trash sister humpers be anymore uneducated. Now, I understand genetically wise that some problems can occur with incest; but to not realize how ineligible their comments are is sad. How have you made it this far in life? Ex president bone spurs is your lord and savior, we know. Have a "smocking hot burder in thigh land" and make sure to use u.v rays up your anus. It'll cure anything, it's like magic.
