Dear Kathy,
On my recent deployment in direct support of Operation Enduring Freedom I had the opportunity to fly on numerous combat missions into Afghanistan. I personally carried this flag with me on one of those missions into Afghanistan. Knowing what a Patriot you are, I thought you would enjoy this gift. Display it with pride. Thanks for everything!
My Best,
Rich

"In appreciation for all that you have done for us, please accept this Squadron Coin. It is a military thing and only offered to someone who has performed above and beyond the call of duty. These are unique and designed by each unit, so even if you have another, it won't be the same." God bless you, Frank
