Ron,
I journeyed to Warner
Robins AFB on May 5, 2003 to preside at the retirement ceremony of SMSgt
Paul Gibbons after some 22 plus years service. Paul's first assignment
in the Air Force after basic and tech school was to the 435 APS where
he worked in Air Freight. His second tour in the AF was in the 1606th
Transportation Squadron, Logair Section at Kirtland AFB, NM when I was
the squadron commander.
The attached photos
are of the presentation of the Meritorious Service Medal to Paul and
the presentation of the Certificate of Appreciation to his wife, Pat,
as Paul looks on. Paul just earned his Masters Degree in Accounting
and will work as an auditor.

During
World War II, the U.S. military used Employer flags to recognize
companies whose efficient production made major contributions to
the overall war effort. Today, as we wage war on terrorism, this
contemporary adaptation - a "P" cradled in the Air Force
symbol - recognizes the vital partnership between America's Air
Force and the parents of our airmen. |
