HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii -- The Family Day schedule for 2007 was recently announced by the Pacific Air Forces commander.

The following dates will be designated as PACAF Family Days for calendar year 2007:
Jan. 2, May 25, July 5, Aug. 31, Nov. 23, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.

Civilians are encouraged to take annual leave or use accrued compensatory time on these days.

"It is important that Airmen and their families realize how much their service and sacrifice is appreciated," said Gen. Paul V. Hester, PACAF commander. "Family days provide an opportunity for those on home-station to take some well-deserved time to relax with family and friends."

While spending time with family and friends is important, General Hester also stressed the importance of safety.

"We are fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the world where there is so much to do," the general said. "No matter what your favorite activities are, safety needs to come first. Remember to always use your best judgment and take care of each other."
