Air Force recruit sworn-in on Veterans Day

HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) - Hundreds of people turned out at the Log Cabin in Holyoke to honor America’s veterans, and one of the newest recruits to the Air Force Reserve.

Taylor Marie Trombley of Springfield was sworn into the Air Force Reserve during the ceremony Monday morning, which was put on by the USO of the Pioneer Valley .

Trombley told 22News that the timing of her swearing-in ceremony made it all the more special.

“It’s an honor to be able to do this in front of everyone here and enlist on Veterans Day, and the fact that all these people made it possible for me to be here right now, it’s really an honor,” she said.

Veterans Day is always officially on November 11, but because it fell on a Sunday this year, it is being observed by government agencies and many private businesses on Monday.
