Family members of Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’s namesake and members of the 11th Wing applaud during closing remarks at the namesake’s statue unveiling ceremony at JBAB, Washington, D.C., Nov. 9, 2023. The late U.S. National Guard Col. Raynal C. Bolling is remembered for creating the first flying units in what would become the Air National Guard, as well as his many contributions to the war effort during World War I. The U.S. Army honored the fallen aviator in 1918 by naming the National Capital Region’s newest aviation facility Bolling Field, which would later become Bolling Air Force Base and then JBAB.
