SOUTHWEST ASIA (June 9, 2010) -- Every day in the 380th Air
Expeditionary Wing at a non-disclosed base here, deployed
service members participate in activities that reflect
heavily on showing patriotism in their service and their
country.
On May 29, for example, an every-day scene of firefighters
lowering the American flag at the wing's Sept. 11, 2001,
memorial could be seen. And in another moment, Airmen from
the 380th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron could be seen
saluting to the playing of the national anthem during a
ceremony.
The 380th EFSS is possibly a good example of how patriotism
is reflected in the Air Force and the military. In addtion
to active duty Airmen from base all across the Air Force,
the deployed squadron has Air National Guard teams from
Michigan, Hawaii and as far away as Guam.The 380th AEW is
home to the KC-10 Extender, U-2 Dragon Lady, E-3
Sentry and |

Firefighters from the 380th
Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron Fire
Department prepare to lower the American flag at
the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing's 9-11 memorial
at the end of the duty day at a non-disclosed
base in Southwest Asia, May 29, 2010. The
memorial is a tribute to the men and women who
died in the terrorist attacks in the United
States on Sept. 11, 2001. |
