Dear AIR FORCE Veterans,

I would like to create a table of military service for those who served in the AIR FORCE and would like to add your service. 

I have already started the MARINE Table of Honor, the NAVY Table of Honor, and the ARMY Table of Honor. I would like to create a master table of all military willing to share their service, so that all user names would appear in alphabetical order and be easier to reference regardless of branch of military service. But for now, I'm working on one branch at a time.

If you would like to be added to the AIR FORCE table, have a look  at the format I've created and repy on this thread to have your name added. Once I get the names, I can post the completed table in a comment at the bottom of this thread, which you can link for later reference.

 

Please accept my gratitude for your service. THANK YOU!
