Default Honored by Heroes
A little while back I had a fiver of cigars up for sale.

Zitro Joe said he wanted to purchase them and asked if I would ship them to Afganistan. I said no problem, no charge, and thanked him for his service and sacrifice.

Recently Joe asked me for my address to say thank you and this is what arrived.

I am truly humbled.







The certificate reads....

"Be it known by all, this flag was flown in the face of the enemy, and bears witness to the removal of terrorist forces threatening the freedom of the United States of America. It was flown into combat with great honor and pride aboard an EC-130H COMPASS CALL aircraft carrying out the Global War on Terrorism"

EC-130H Compass Call, Aircraft # 73-1585

Operation ENDURING FREEDOM
4 July 2009

Patrick Cahill

It is also signed by the whole crew.

Kent Crane, Capt, USAF - Aircraft Commander
J. David Ortiz, SSgt, USAF - Analysis Operator (zitro joe)
Lori Brown, 1Lt, USAF - Mission Crew Commander
Christy Calvert, TSgt, USAF - Flight Engineer
Kelly Weber, Capt, USAF - Pilot
Brent Reynertson, SSgt, USAF - Mission Crew Supervisor
Liam Grimes, Capt, USAF - Navigator
Ashley House, SSgt, USAF - Analysis Operator
Mandy Fessel, SSgt, USAF - Airborne Maintenance Technician
