Calling all heroes Published Nov. 15, 2007 By Staff Sgt. Timothy R. Capling 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- The public affairs office here is on the search for Tyndall Air Force Base members with deployment experience who have a tremendous experience to share. In the spirit of Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. T. Michael Moseley's "Portraits in courage" book series-that highlights extraordinary Airmen and their courageous battle stories-public affairs office staff members have created a localized version for the base Web site. The program, which started Nov. 6, tells three individual's stories-a Tyndall AFB security forces patrolman, explosive ordnance disposal troop and medical group Airman. "Tyndall Airmen who are trained to serve in an Air Force capacity are now filling Army in-lieu-of positions. They are commonly put in situations where their expertise and training potentially saves lives," said 1st Lt. Amanda Ferrell, 325th Fighter Wing public affairs deputy and program creator. "Those Airmen are heroes. They're heroes for stepping up to challenging deployment duties, and for excelling while deployed." Each story will be posted under the features tab on the base Web site. "We're working to highlight these hometown heroes by documenting the amazing actions of our Airmen in a feature format for fellow Airmen, families and the community to read, enjoy and learn from," Lieutenant Ferrell said. Public affairs staffs are looking for these individuals from any sources possible. "We would like anyone with this kind of experience or knows somebody who does to contact us so we can get their story out there," the lieutenant said. Anyone wanting to share their story or the experience of another call the public affairs office at 283-4500 or e-mail at editor@tyndall.af.mil .
