force members

By SrA Paul R. Ross
116th ACW/PA
17 116th Air Control Wing
Security Forces members
were honored Oct. 21 at
a ceremony at Robins Air
Force Base.
The members were rec
ognized for their continued
and outstanding support to
the Department of Defense
and the State of Georgia.
“The purpose of today’s
ceremony is to recognize and
welcome home those mem
bers of the 116th SFS, who
deployed to Iraq for eight
months in support of opera
tion Iraqi Freedom,” said
Senior Master Sgt. William
Cutshaw, 116th Security
Forces First Sergeant. “We
will also recognize The
Gove. (Sonny Perdue) and
the state of Georgia for the
encouragement our unit and
its members received from
them during this deploy
ment.”
Maj. Gen. Scott Hammond,
Georgia Air National Guard
commander was in atten
dance to recognize the secu
rity forces men and women.
“We are so grateful we have
you all to serve the nation
and your fellow (military)
members,” said Hammond.
The commander of the
Wing had his own words for
the security forces person
nel.
“I could not be prouder,”
said Col. James “Rev” Jones,
116th ACW commander. “I
thank you as an American
and as a father because you
make the world safe for my
kids to grow up.”
Lt. Gen. David Poythress,
Adjutant General of Georgia,
commented the true value of
the awards the 19 members
received.
“When our people succeed
and do well you don’t get a
stock option or a vacation
home,” said Poythress. “You
come up on stage and get a
little piece of cloth to wear
on your chest that has to
intrinsic value whatsoever.
But it is worth far more than
silver and gold. They will
wear it with pride for what
it stands for.”
After the awards were
handed out, security forc
es members presented a
