Yesterday I received a very cool package form Schmitty at the OpFTH. I knew something was coming but did not know what, as he would not tell me!
We opened the box and found an American flag folded in the traditional manner with a Certificate that reads the following:
!5th Military Intelligence Battalion
Balad SE Air Base,Iraq
To All that read this Let it be known that this American Flag was flown on a combat mission over the skies in Iraq on the 14th Day on Jan. 2008 aboard a I-GNAT-ER Unmanned Aerial Vehicle,A1-005, Call sign T Bone 33 in support of,
OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM to aid in the stability and the reconstruction of Iraq as we prosecute the war on terrorism and is herby presented to Rob Ball in honor of
Your support to the troops and OpFTH.
It also list all the names of the Flight crew and the Balad VET crew!
The coolest thing that ever arrived at my door.
Thanks Bill this was a great surprise!
