A special surprise gift in the mail.


A couple of weeks ago, I received a surprise gift from Vicki's cousin, Ken Decker. It was a flag that had been flown on August 17, 2009 aboard a Missouri Air National Guard C-130H aircraft on a combat mission over Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The co-pilot was Ken's daughter, Janelle Decker, Cpt, USAF. Included with the flag was a certificate with a picture of a C-130 in flight, the information above, my name, the aircraft numbers and signed by each of the crew of 6.
August 17, 2009 also happened to be my mother's 90th birthday. Pretty cool!

  1. Hey, that is pretty cool of Ken. Glad to see that you are able to work full time. We were also at the game Saturday but didn't realize you guys were there until I read today. WHAT A GAME
    Joe, take care of yourself. The thoughts, prayers and your good behavior seems to be working to date.
