Technical Sergeant John Chapman has been awarded the Air Force Cross

Yes, that's what I saw/heard also. Earlier in the day, an Air Force spokesman was on, giving the history of the Air Force Cross, and TSgt Chapman's story. Very moving ceremony - only carried by FNC. Pity - how quickly we forget our true heroes. God bless him and his family.

Ok,boys and girls,let's all get on the stick here and try to pressure the town concil of Windsor Locks,Conn to honor this young airman. If we can't get a high school named after him (the ideal situation in MY opinion),at least we can pressure the town fathers into desiginating a "Sgt.Chapman" day. It's time America's students are once again given REAL heroes to look up to,and a understanding of what American citizenship is worth. Somebody with more patience and knowledge than me needs to start a petition we can all sign,preferably somebody from Conn.

Let's do it. This man needs to be honored,NOT forgotten!
