Go 'Skers

Considering that the majority of my unit is from Nebraska, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that there are a lot of die-hard Husker fans within our ranks. When we first arrived in Iraq, there was a debate about what flag we should fly daily on the flag pole outside our headquarters building (where I work). Well, the logical choice to Husker fans in the unit was to fly a Husker flag, to show the rest of our base where our allegiance lies. SGT Kane generously donated the use of his Husker flag to this purpose, and from day one Kane's crimson and cream flag has been flying proudly (read about it here). Four months of Iraqi sun, sand and wind has put this Husker flag through a true test of durability. SGT Kane was aiming for a nice weathered look, so he can proudly display this Husker flag when he gets back to Nebraska as a veteran of the war on terror. SGT Kane is satisfied that his flag has reached a desirable level of wear and is prepared to hand off the baton, so to speak, to a new Husker flag. I am prepared to step up to the plate and take control of this important role within the Squadron, but I am missing an important piece - a Husker flag. I am using this post as an opportunity for some caring, compassionate soul back in the states to donate a Husker flag to this worthy cause. If you need my mailing address, shoot me an email. I appreciate your help in continuing this important tradition!
