| Sr AirmanYelner has earned all of our respect and gratitude. My daughter is stationed with him (both weapons troops) and she told me he volunteered for convoy duty. He has made the ultimate selfless sacrifice for our freedom so it is time for us (his wingmen) to carry the torch of freedom and not let his contribution fade. Thanks and god bless to his family/friends/wingmen...... we shall always remember..... |
