"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." ~Leonardo Da Vinci

Today the U.S. Army felt it appropriate that the door gunners of B Co 1-150 Assault Helicopter Battalion be granted their Air Crew Wings.

SFC McCreary, SGT Briesch, and SPC Davensizer were awarded their wings alongside me but Commander Jeff Milchanowski and 1SG Jeff Huttle.

Sergeants Lerch, Smith, Habecker, Rocourt, and others were awarded Army Achievement Medals for their hard work in making sure our aircraft were in appropriate flying condition after their transport here. CW3 Tom Luckenbach was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his exceptional service in getting the unit ready for mobilization.

Atta boy guys!
