Mr. And Mrs. Burr Woody of Gallatin received special lapel pins from the U.S. Secretary of the Air Force in special recognition of their son, Chief Master Sgt. Roger Woody, this past week. The tokens of appreciation echo similar recognitions during World War II when the U.S. military used “E” flags to recognize companies whose efficient production made major contributions to the war effort. Today, as we wage war on terrorism, this contemporary adaptation – a “P” cradled in the Air Force symbol – recognizes the vital partnership between America’s Air Force and the parents of our airmen.
The letter, in part, reads as follows: “We could not protect America’s freedom without the incredible people who are willing to carry on the Air Force tradition. As the proud parents of one of those airmen, your support continues to be critical to our ongoing efforts and makes a real difference to your country. We understand that the vitality of this support can be an emotional balancing act, and we thank you for everything you do to make Chief Master Sgt. Woody’s service possible.”
The letter about the 41-year-old career airman also states “Because of the service of thousands of airmen like your son, Roger, we are confident that we will prevail in the long struggle against the forces of terror.”
