Deployed Airmen dedicate flagpole to fallen comrade

Commentary by Master Sgt. Robert Payne
1st Expeditionary Special Operations Maintenance Squadron


1/7/2010 - AFGHANISTAN -- Being deployed this past September was a stark reminder of why we are fighting for the freedoms that we hold dear. The memories from the early morning hours of Sept. 11, 2001, often remind many Airmen why they joined the fight in the first place.

More than eight years have passed since that tragic day, and many people have commemorated each anniversary by going to a ceremony in remembrance of those who have fallen. It has also become a day to show our appreciation for the sacrifices that our military heroes have made in combat.

On March 22, 2008, Tech. Sgt. William Jefferson Jr., a combat controller with the 21st Special Tactics Squadron, Pope AFB, N.C., made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

  1. Ron,
    I tried to add a "comment" to the posting of the story about the flag pole made by SSgt Miller and SSgt Spencer but it was "lost in cyberspace". If it's possible, please pass along my humble thank you to them for their own service and their efforts described.

Perhaps you should adopt the thing i have written are. Similar to a medium-duty fitness machine, all of the Model number 810 is the platform for food items, store places, and as a result doughnut voilage.
