Our Residents have shaped world history.
The AFRH has been home to thousands of former enlisted, warrant officers, and limited duty officers. The people who have lived here have served in all five branches of the Armed Services in locations around the world. The jobs they've performed, the sacrifices they've made, and the histories they've witnessed make an incredible story. Below are just a few of our Residents' remarkable experiences. If you'd like to share your story, contact public.affairs@afrh.gov.
