The Air Force Enlisted Village in Shalimar, Fla., has opened its new assisted-living residence, called Hawthorn House. According to village officials, the 64-apartment facility is the culmination of a “38-year dream.” The first resident to move in, Marcia Solhein, said, “Instead of [the] elderly, ill women that we are, we feel like special guests who are loved, pampered and well cared for.”
A legislative standoff has led to a lapse in a $4.26 billion small business innovation contracting program widely used by the Air Force and could spell the end of it entirely, industry sources warned Air & Space Forces Magazine.
