The other day we flew a QRF (Quick Reaction Force) mission to an oil well the insurgents bombed.  I flew two American flags, one on each side of the aircraft.  The attached picture was taken by Staff Sergeant Mike Smith of the "fly-by" we did on our way out there.  These flags will be presented folded in a display case along with a certificate with the mission number and date to the officers of Teamsters Local #294 and my man Joe McCaffrey so he can hang it on the wall at the best bar in the world.  I'm also sending some pics of the oil fires, enjoy.
