JohnnyComeLately's Journal: My First Campaign medal

Air Force Personnel lists the Air and Space Campaign Medal may be awarded to, "members of the United States Air Force who, after 24 March 1999, participated in or directly supported a significant U.S. military operation designated by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force". I'm not sure if this means I'll ever be allowed in the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), but at least it means us Space-Weenies get some sort of recognizion. Our unit was awarded this medal a few months ago.

I started to write this JE with the intention of tooting the space-based weapon system "horn". However it seemed to be the antithesis of why I serve, or really, why most of the military serve. So I have deleted most of it to keep the focus on serving. My heart and prayers are with US military who are overseas, away from family or in harms way.
