From an initial group of nine, the squadron membership has grown to fifty three members strong. In addition to monthly luncheons, they periodically take field trips and enjoy social get-togethers with other Squadrons. The group was also motivated to becoming the driving force behind the erection of a monument to all Air Force veterans at the Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery in Exeter, Rhode Island. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at The RI Veterans Memorial Cemetery on June 11, 2017. The public is invited to the dedication which is scheduled for September 9, 2017 at 2:00 PM.

Sampson Air Force Base was located on the eastern shore of Lake Seneca in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, covering an initial area of 260 acres. The original construction was authorized in May ‘42, to serve as a Naval Training Station, (USNTS Sampson, NY) during 1942-1945, being completed in 270 days from the start of construction. It later served as an Air Force Base Training Center during the Korean War era (1950-1956). It is estimated that 411.000+ Navy and 330,000+ Air Force personnel completed their training at the Sampson installation. Over various time periods, the facility has served many different purposes, including its current designation as Sampson State Park.
