FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (Army News Service, May 23, 2002) - The flight wings of an American Airlines stewardess killed Sept. 11 were worn into battle above Afghanistan and then presented back to her family by Army aviators at a ceremony here May 21.
Sara Elizabeth Low was killed when her plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Her father, Mike Low, sent her flight-attendant wings to Afghanistan with a letter to the commander of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne).
"I ask this favor of you. Would it be possible to have some soldier, some good man or woman carry these wings with them in our war against terrorism?" Low wrote.
Rest of the story here.
Staff Sgt. Mark Baker, 2nd Battalion,
160th SOAR (Abn.)thanks Mike Low for the honor
of wearing his daughter's wings in combat.
