Support the Troops Surprise!

Post by GZR_Sactargets »

Anita(My wife) has been sending packages to Iraq as a part of the "Support the troops" program. She has received several cards and letters thanking her. But yesterday, She got a major Surprise!
She received a package from Balad Air Base Iraq from the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing. (They were the Original Tuskegee Airmen). Her package contained a flag that was carried on a mission in Iraq in an F-16. The package also included two excellent certificates. One was from the 14th Expeditonary Squadron and the other a certificate about her flag. These troops are obviously appreciative and it made her day.

Very nice, we normally just fly the flag and don't have the nice "paperwork" to go with it.
