Reborn

They're reactivating my old unit!

PRESS RELEASE -- Secretary of the Air Force, Office of Public Affairs

Release No. 010606
June 20,2006

...

Because of historical lineage, the 16th Special Operations Wing flag will transition to Cannon, and Hurlburt Field will regain its designation as the 1st Special Operations Wing.

...

Hurlburt Field will continue as the headquarters of Air Force Special Operations Command and will also be the home of the 1st Special Operations Wing.

...


It means a lot to us who were there at the beginning, when Air Force Special Operations became something more than just search and rescue and a 'transport' service.

Sorry, couldn't find a link and I have to go to work. Got this via email from DefenseLink.
