Club car giveaway

Christmas came early for Master Sgt. Steven, with the 552nd Air Control Network squadron and his wife, Joann. Sergeant Steven was the Air Force Club’s winner of a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. Joann said she received a call a week prior to them announcing her husband as the winner. “It was hard to keep the secret,” she said. “We never win anything!” The announcement was made during an impromptu commander’s call and everyone went outside for a safety briefing on winterizing a vehicle. Sergeant Steven had no clue that the Dallas Cowboys decorated silver Jeep was his prize. “When I saw the car, I was instantly jealous — I wanted that car!” said Sergeant Steven. Little did he know, it was already his. Out of 11,000 entries Air Force wide, Jonathan Boyd, Chief of Non Appropriated Funds Food and Beverage, said Sergeant Steven had entered 20 times. “People do win,” said Mr. Boyd. “I encourage everyone to support their club—those dollars go to provide these types of programs and giveaways.” (Air Force photo by Annette Crawford)

Silent Witnesses

The 72nd Medical Group Family Advocacy office displayed their “Silent Witnesses” throughout the 72nd Medical Group Clinic recently. The cardboard cutouts of real-life homicide victims of domestic violence bare their heartbreaking stories of their lives and deaths. The Silent Witness National Initiative started in one state and quickly spread to the other 49 to promote education and awareness to domestic violence by having the displays “silently” tell communities to “Remember My Story. Remember My Name.” Family Advocacy can be reached at 582-6604 for reporting or treatment of domestic issues. (Air Force photo by Kelly White)
