Call For Nominations
3/25/2013 – Now through May 1, nominations are being accepted and reviewed for Portraits in
Courage, Vol. 8. Contact you Public Affairs office to nominate your Airmen.
“Portraits in Courage is a CSAF initiative designed to tell Airmen’s stories of courage, valor, and heroism.
Our Airmen do the impossible every day. These narratives embody our warrior ethos and personify AF
Vision. There’s no better time to tell your story, or share the story of fellow Airmen in arms”, said Maj
John Baum, Portraits in Courage project officer.
Air Force officials said packages should focus on focus on leadership, valor, courage, exemplary
performance and commitment, or service above self in either a combat, combat support role, or
extraordinary event outside the normal call of duty.
Submissions should highlight the nominees’ accomplishments during the previous two years and appeal
to an audience of Airmen, their families, and civilians.
The 300-500 word pieces, officials added, should be in narrative format and not only shed light on the
Airman’s career field, but relate a compelling story that reinforces the service’s core values, culture and
the Airman’s creed.
Packages must include the nominees’ biography and three supporting high-resolution digital photos (no
less than 300 dpi), featuring the airman in action and donned in his or her air battle uniform, flight duty
uniform or equivalent tactical uniform.
Individuals wishing to submit a story should contact their base Public Affairs office and submit their
nomination packages to their respective major command, two-letter or direct reporting unit, who can
each send up to five portraits.
