PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Many members of Team Pete have requested volunteer and donation information to help members of the community affected by the Waldo Canyon fires.
"The out-pouring of selflessness from our community, both inside the gate and in the Colorado Springs area, is overwhelming," said Col. Chris Crawford, the 21st Space Wing commander. "At this point, volunteerism throughout Team Pete is immeasurable; a true testament to the benevolent nature of our team and our town."
