What is your most memorable moment on Andrews AFB? "My most memorable moment at Andrews was when members of my office and I helped escort media for the return flight of the Mearsk-Alabama crew into Andrews. It was a night of long hours and cold rain, but I will never forget the warm reception and accolades that these brave men received from their family and friends as they stepped off the plane. I watched as one crewmember sheltered his children under his arms and cried tears of joy. That moment struck me to the core. It made me proud to be part of the joint effort to bring these Americans home; made me proud to be part of Team Andrews, and proud to be an Air Force Airman."
