Members of the 130th Airlift Wing are returning home from their recent deployment to Afghanistan. They are members of the same squadron to which our ASC-South, Buddy Palla, belonged before he retired, in fact, he was their Chief. These aircraft maintainers have missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, etc. with their families, and we will be honored to give them an appropriate welcome home. The assigned RC for this happy mission will be Buddy Palla.(deaconbiker@yahoo.com
