My Step dad's medals and Challenge coins.

My step dad passed away last year. He was more of dad than my biological one.

He did 23 year in the Airforce. After his service he did 10 years as a contractor for Sierra Nevada. He was first stationed in West Germany as an aircraft mechanic for F4. He then he transitioned to F15. He got his purple heart because he was wounded in Khobar towers. He also got another medal for helping the wounded get out of the rubble of the building while being wounded. He eventually became a flight engineer for C-130. After 9/11 he want to do more so he became a flight engineer on AC-130s. He retired as a technical sergeant. For my birthday my mom gave me his Medals and challenge coins. He was very proud of his service.
