The '''Air National Guard''' (ANG) is part of the [[United States National Guard]] and a [[Reserve Component of the Armed Forces of the United States|reserve component]] of the [[United States Air Force]] (USAF). Like the [[Army National Guard]], the ANG is administered by the [[National Guard Bureau]] and an ANG unit may be activated by both the [[President of the United States]] and the [[Governor#United States|governor]] of the state in which it resides. The national guard is located in every state in the union.
 
Although the ANG was not established as a separate component of the USAF until [[1947]], throughout the [[20th century|twentieth century]] [[United States National Guard|National Guard]] [[aviator]]s have played significant roles in all wars involving the [[United States]] and in most of its major contingencies. ANG units served on active duty during the [[Korean War]], and ANG [[F-100 Super Sabre|F-100]] squadrons from Colorado, New York, Iowa, and New Mexico served at [[Phan Rang AB]], Vietnam, for eleven months of 1968-69, flying over 24,000 combat [[sortie]]s. In recent operations, entire units and individuals have also been activated.
 
Regarded as one of the most versatile trumpet players in the music business, Terran has had an impact on the Los Angeles music scene for more than four decades as a specialist of many musical styles. He performed and recorded with many notable artists such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como, Linda Ronstadt, Benny Goodman, Elvis Presley, Madonna, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Bob Hope, Barbra Streisand, Chicago, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Bee Gees, The Tijuana Brass and The Baja Marimba Band.
The ANG is often described as a "[[Reserve force|reserve]]" force of "part-time [[airmen]]", although the demands of maintaining modern [[aircraft]] mean many ANG members work full-time. Many ANG aviators work for commercial [[airline]]s, but in the ANG they may train to fly any of the aircraft in the USAF inventory, with the exception of the [[B-2 Spirit]] [[stealth aircraft|stealth]] [[bomber]], the [[B-1B Lancer]] bomber, the [[MH-53 Pave Low]] [[helicopter]], the [[AC-130 Gunship]], the [[F-117 Nighthawk]] stealth [[Fighter aircraft|fighter]], and the [[F-22 Raptor]] fighter.
 
Terran played on many recordings of television shows and film soundtracks such as I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, The Brady Bunch, I Dream of Jeanie, Happy Days, Popeye, The Carol Burnett Show, Cheers, L.A. Law, The Simpson’s, Star Trek, Rocky I II and III, Karate Kid I, II and III, The Natural, All The Presidents Men, Broadcast News, Field of Dreams, Grease, Officer and a Gentleman, Ghostbusters, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Deep.
Since the [[1991]] [[Gulf War]], ANG pilots have patrolled [[Iraq]]'s [[no-fly zone]]s. During the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|9/11 terrorist attacks]] the first unit to provide air cover was the ''Happy Hooligans'', a [[North Dakota]] ANG [[F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16]] unit diverted from flight training over [[Langley Air Force Base]], [[Virginia]]. Another ANG F-16 unit from [[Vermont]] later patrolled the skies over [[New York City]].

According to news and Congressional sources, the first unit over New York after the attacks began was the [[102nd Fighter Wing]] of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. The F-15's were stationed at Otis Air National Guard Base, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. On May 22, 2002 a Joint Resolution was passed by the Congress of the United States recognizing the members of the 102 FW for their actions on September 11, 2001.
 
He was also a featured soloist for distinguished composers and conductors including Nelson Riddle, John Williams, Patrick Williams, Lalo Schifrin, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith, Henry Mancini and John Barry. Terran received the Most Valuable Player Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 1974.
The resolution in part states "Whereas on the morning of September 11, 2001, the 102d Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard became the Nation's first airborne responder to the terrorist attacks of that day when it scrambled two F-15 fighter aircraft just six minutes after being informed of the terrorist hijackings of commercial airliners;
 
Terran was in high school when he started working on live radio shows in Buffalo. In 1944, he arrived in Los Angeles after touring with Horace Heidt. In 1945, he began working with Bob Hope, and then with Desi Arnaz in 1946. His relationship with Arnez helped shape Cuban/Latin music in the United States. Terran had the distinction of playing on the first filmed television sitcom, and playing with some of the first R&B bands to use horns in the early 1950’s.
Whereas within the first hour of the terrorist attacks, the 102d Fighter Wing launched six armed aircraft on combat air patrol over New York City and Boston;"
