Heartfelt thanks

Airman, July, 2004 by Daniel McWilliams

I'd like to give special thanks to Airman magazine, especially Master Sgts. Tim Barela and Scott Wagers for the wonderful job, attention to detail and profound sensitivity to such a horrific event in our lives ["Mail from Hell," April 2004]. Throughout the interview and photography sessions, unwavering sincerity and superior levels of technical proficiency were their hallmarks.

The battle scars and emotional fissures may never fade because we wake to the telltale reminders daily. We will survive. I believe it's important for articles like this one to be produced. Our innocence has been robbed with this act of terrorism and the others that followed.

Again, a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Airman magazine.
