A BENEFIT YOU CAN"T PUT A PRICE ON
This is not to endorse club membership, just a nice story about how others see the USAF as told by the airman's 1st Sgt. Amn Tyrell Tyson come into the Air Force on 26 Jan 2000. On 28 Jan 2001 he was sitting at the Super Bowl thanks to USAF Services Agency. He won tickets for being a club member. . One story he told me about was on the day of the Super Bowl. He was in line waiting to get in. There was a sea of people in front of him. An older gentleman (whatever means older to a 21 year old) in front of him asked, "You look a little young to be at the Super Bowl. How did you get your tickets?" Amn Tyson answered (his smile beaming from ear to ear, if you ever met Amn Tyson you would undrstand the smile), I am in the Air Force and won a contest from our club." The gentleman turned teary eyed, hugged Amn Tyson and said, "You guys in the Air Force are great. I really appreciate what you do for us." Then he yelled to the crowd, "Hey, I got an Air Force guy guy coming through. Make a hole and make it wide." The sea of spectators (2,000 or so) opened up and let Amn Tyson get to the head of the line. Amn Tyson had never seen anything like it. The folks actually moving, watching his every step, smiling as he passed, proud of him for serving in the Air Force. Amn Tyson was speechless. He told me when he got back this moment meant more to him than anything else he saw or heard. Folks, It doesn't get any better than that!
