  • Written Testimony for HB 437 – Marine Sergeant David R Christoff Memorial Highway David Volunteered for Duty the Day After
    Written Testimony for HB 437 – Marine Sergeant David R Christoff Memorial Highway David volunteered for duty the day after the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attack on the World Trade Centers in New York City; he was motivated by the desire to protect the freedom and safety of those he loved. On February 22, 2002 he graduated from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island as a Private First Class. He attended the School of Infantry at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina and was then assigned with the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines, Bravo Company at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. David was promoted to Sergeant on October 1, 2004 and on his first deployment he served as Squad Leader in the second Battle of Fallujah code name “Operation Phantom Fury” which is considered to be the bloodiest battle of the Iraq war. After David returned from this deployment in March of 2005, he volunteered to transfer to the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, Kilo Company because he felt there was still much work to be done in Iraq and he wanted to teach the younger Marines the hard lessons he had learned during his previous deployment. He served as Platoon Sergeant starting September 12, 2005 and was deployed to Haqlaniyah, Iraq on March 11, 2006. Upon returning from a foot patrol on May 22, 2006 David was killed by an improvised explosive device. He was laid to rest along with many other fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. During his 5 years he had the opportunity to serve, he made a lifetime of impressions on those he served with, many of whom have relayed stories of his courage, compassion and leadership, attributes he displayed on a daily basis.

  • Fifty Years on Nato's Southern Flank
    FIFTY YEARS ON NATO’S SOUTHERN FLANK A HISTORY OF SIXTEENTH AIR FORCE 1954 – 2004 By WILLIAM M. BUTLER Sixteenth Air Force Historian Office of History Headquarters, Sixteenth Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe Aviano Air Base, Italy 1 May 2004 ii FOREWORD The past fifty years have seen tremendous changes in the world and in our Air Force. Since its inception as the Joint U.S Military Group, Air Administration (Spain) responsible for the establishment of a forward presence for strategic and tactical forces, Sixteenth Air Force has stood guard on the southern flank of our NATO partners ensuring final success in the Cold War and fostering the ability to deploy expeditionary forces to crises around our theater. This history then is dedicated to all of the men and women who met the challenges of the past 50 years and continue to meet each new challenge with energy, courage, and devoted service to the nation. GLEN W. MOORHEAD III Lieutenant General, USAF Commander iii PREFACE A similar commemorative history of Sixteenth Air Force was last published in 1989 with the title On NATO’s Southern Flank by previous Sixteenth Air Force Historian, Dr. Robert L. Swetzer. This 50th Anniversary edition contains much of the same structure of the earlier history, but the narrative has been edited, revised, and expanded to encompass events from the end of the Cold War to the emergence of today’s Global War on Terrorism. However, certain sections in the earlier edition dealing with each of the countries in the theater and minor bases have been omitted.

MYERS, SMSgt (Ret) Historian Revised & Edited by: Reviewed by: ~~~-· VINCENT ~~R~~ ALTON C. WHITLEY SMSgt, USAF Colonel, USAF I Historian Commander Office of History Headquarters 37th Fighter Wing Twelfth Air Force Tactical Air Command Preface This unclassified account of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing's accomplishments during Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM was prepared to permit members of the "Team Stealth" community to reflect with pride on their contribu­ tion to sustained world peace. They proved their mettle in battle and have earned the title of American warrior. It is a testament to their love for country and their willingness to sacrifice for the ideals they defend every day of their lives. The peoples of the United States and the entire Free World are forever in their debt. Nighthawks Over Iraq is based entirely on the contingency historical reports developed by SMSgt Phil Myers during his visit to Saudi Arabia as historian of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing and the mission tally sheets developed by the wing's operations network. 2 On 5 October 1989, the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) relocated to Tonopah Test Range, Nevada, to take up the role as the Air Force's only Stealth Fighter unit.
