Marc Makens, right, 37th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron combat mission ready weapon systems officer at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, June 3, 2024, during a base tour. As part of his visit, Cotton took the opportunity to interact and recognize Airmen within the 37th EBS as they conduct Bomber Task Force 24-6 missions.
