“Earlier this week, Congressman Kinzinger was deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border with his Air National Guard unit, and is serving on active duty in his capacity as Lieutenant Colonel. As with his previous border missions while elected, the Congressman will stay within the United States,” a statement from his communications director Maura Gillespie reads.
Kinzinger joined the Air National Guard in 2003. He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and was later awarded his pilot wings. Kinzinger served in the Air Force Special Ops, Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command and Air National Guard."
God speed sir. Thank you for your service.
