[BigDaveIA 13]

Memorial Day is tomorrow and I just wanted to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all our service men and women who fight for our freedom and our country. Thankyou to the veterans who have fought, and also to those who have given their lives for Americans. We have so much negative going on these days and times are tough, but these great Americans do something great everyday of their lives and sacrifice lives and time with their families so we can continue to live our lives as Americans. I personally have a brother and best friend who have spent 3 years in Iraq and one missed the birth of his daughter and most of the first few years of her life. You soldiers sacrifice so much and are the most unselfish people on earth and we here at Incriminator Audio just wanna say thankyou and remember all our fallen soldiers.

I served during this time at RAF Lakenheath, United States Air Force.

In November 1990, the squadron deployed to King Fahd Royal Air Base, Taif Saudi Arabia, in support of Operation Desert shield. On 17 January 1991, the 492d was once again called into combat at the onset of Operation Desert Storm. During the campaign, the squadron flew over 800 missions, delivering more than 2.5 million pounds of ordnance.

In December 1991, the 492d FS deployed to Incirlik Air Base Turkey in support of Operation Provide Comfort. The squadron flew over 560 missions supporting United Nations inspection teams and the Kurdish relief effort. In March 1992, the squadron returned to RAF Lakenheath and became USAFE's first unit to transition to the F-15E Strike Eagle. The squadron was declared mission ready on 1 July 1993.

In August 1993, the 492d FS again deployed to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey in support of Operation Provide Comfort flying over 460 missions in support of the Kurdish relief effort. In February 1994, the 492d deployed to Aviano Air Base, Italy in support of Operation Deny Flight.

I Also would like to exted my THANK YOU for all the Men and Women who make our United States Military.

Happy Memorial Day !!!
