Dear Airplanes, this is Blimp, you win.

He did get the decoration. The reason we're looking for somebody with more background knowledge of what happened is that, since he will never boast about his accomplishments, we're going to do it for him. For his farewell here, we want to be able to put into perspective what a warrior he is by telling the details of what he did to earn that. We got a copy of the official citation, but being able to recount the story from somebody who can provide a first (or second) person perspective is much more effective. In an Air Force that continues to devalue the warrior ethos, he is an example of what Air Force warrior and leader should be, and we want to highlight his actions to drive that point home.

His USAFA speech is now on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/user/Pecker5454#p/u/0/Ud32agKHcyQ

Thank you, info is power.

Smaller versions of these things are going up all over theater. As usual, Air Force leadership has no long term vision and has completely ignored this program. Flying jets is more fun, got it, but I really wish they would understand that protecting the jet mission means doing less glamorous stuff like UAS and blimps also. The Army found a way to provide continous ISR coverage from the air without us...way to go blue.

Technically wouldn't it be in Pashtun even though most of them are illiterate maybe Arabic for those hard core Al Quieda still left in the theater.
