MAINEiacs is the Maine Air Guard's logo which is; used in a variety of ways and is known Worldwide to other Air Guard units and in manly foreign countries. The MAINEiacs logo is located under the cargo door of each of our eight KC -135 stratotankers and aircrews wear MAINEiac cloth patches on their flight suits and jackets. We have an organization named MAINEiac Charities which through fund raising efforts of Guard members contributes to such worthy causes as The Ronald McDonald House, Special Olympics, March of Dimes, Levinson Center, and Jaws of Life for the Bangor Fire Department. The MAINEiacs logo can most accurately be described as a goodwill symbol, a symbol of the dedication, loyalty and services that Maine Air Guard members provide not only to the State of Maine and their country but also to the Bangor community at large. We believe that a street named in their honor would be fitting tribute to them and we earnestly request your - consideration in this matter. Sincerely �l SE P/ RISTT MEANS Base Services Officer
