George Bender of the 168th Wing, 168th Maintenance Group, stands in front of his art mural representing the MXG patch, hanging in the MXG hangar at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Sept. 29, 2023. His art is currently on the MXG unit patch worn on the shoulders of all the MXG members, representing their pride in their maintenance craftsmanship.
