Dear Chairman Principi and BRAC Commissioners: I was upset by the Defense Department's recommendation to close the Niagara Falls Air Force Reserve and Guard base. This recommendation is not in the nation's best interest and the BRAC Commission should reverse this decision and remove them from the closure list. It is hard to understand why the Air Force has decided to take planes, missions and jobs away from so many Air Guard and Air-Reserve bases and put them on the more costly Active Duty bases.
