Maj. Gen. Donald Wetekam, Warner Robins Air Logistics Center commander, said appro priate punishment in such cases carries greater weight given recent national events. “Bomb threats are serious matters, particularly in light of the attacks that have taken place against the United States,” Wetekam said. “Our greatest concern is the safety of the work force. We must do everything within our power to provide a safe environment where employees can concen trate on the extremely impor tant work they do in the war on terrorism. We do not take these kinds of incidents lightly.” Greene lights Perry lamp Sun 7/13 / 89/67 Partly cloudy, chance of a thunder storm.
