Col. Greg Nelson, commander of the Kentucky Air National Guard's 123rd Airlift Wing, pins a streamer on the wing's guidon, held by Wing Command Chief Master Sgt. Curtis Carpenter, during an awards ceremony held March 18, 2012, at the Kentucky Air Guard Base in Louisville, Ky. The streamer represents the wing's 15th Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, a nearly unprecedented achievement in the history of the U.S. Air Force. Only three other units are believed to have earned 15 AFOUAs. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Dennis Flora)
