SJR 19: NAME SHEMYA AFB EARECKSON AIR FORCE BASE Number 350 CHAIR FOSTER referred to the next item on the agenda, SJR 19. Number 355 JOE AMBROSE, ASSISTANT to REPRESENTATIVE ROBIN TAYLOR, PRIME SPONSOR OF SJR 19, referred to the history of Shemya Air Force Base, saying it is the most westerly of the Eleventh Air Force's bases. The 5073rd Air Base Group provides base support to various tenant units assigned to other Air Force commands, primarily the Strategic Air Command. He referred to Colonel William O. Eareckson, noting that he was a military leader and active combatant in the Aleutian Campaign of World War II, and that the Colonel had received numerous decorations for his service in Alaska, including the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal, the Navy Cross and the Purple Heart. He said Shemya Air Base is the only Air Force base in Alaska without a dedicated name. Number 391 REPRESENTATIVE HUDSON moved for passage of SJR 19 from committee with individual recommendations. No objections were heard, it was so ordered.
