Balad Airmen celebrate Air Force's birthday
Staff Sgt. Joshua Hanson, Tech. Sgt. Sean Hannah and Senior Airman Joyleen Roberts raise the American flag during a reveille ceremony Sept. 18 at Balad Air Base, Iraq. Members of the 332nd AEW, the most forward-deployed Air Force wing in Iraq, held the ceremony in observance of the Air Force's 60th birthday. The wing draws its heritage from the famed 332nd Fighter Group, led by the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, and carries this spirit in operations here. Sergeants Hanson, Hannah and Airman Hannah are from the 332nd AEW Honor Guard. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Joshua Garcia)
