SUBJECT: Letter of Appreciation

1. On behalf of the ###th Communications Flight and the ###th Air Refueling Wing, I would
like to acknowledge and thank all of your folks for providing our unit with outstanding hands-on
Annual Tour training from Tuesday, 31 May 2005 to Friday, 1 July 2005.

2. With limited personnel and various training commitments to other regions, your personnel
met the challenge and stepped up in awesome fashion to provide extensive training, knowledge
and experience to our reservists on deployable communication equipment. We are still unfolding
and applying the bounty of software, power point presentations, support equipment information,
and training experiences given to us.

3. We also must recognize the stand-out efforts of TSgt. Last, who single-handedly
coordinated BAM training and the RF shot across distance to provide 3CO/2E2 link to the
deployed site. In addition, SMSgt. Last coordinated the logistics of providing our unit with a
blade server that SSgt Last hand delivered to our unit.

4. Everyone had an exceptional attitude and their expert knowledge was repeatedly demonstrated
throughout this period. Their performance was selfless, dedicated, and committed to the
objectives of the mission. All of the below individuals clearly deserve this recognition.

                  CMSgt First Last            SMSgt First Last           SMSgt First Last
                  MSgt First Last               TSgt First Last               SSgt First Last
                  SSgt First Last                SrA First Last


5. Due to their direct involvement, technical expertise, and willingness to help, our Annual Tour
will be one to remember. Please pass along my sincere gratitude to everyone. These individuals
are truly an asset to your unit and the United States Air Force.



                                                                                                  FIRST M. LAST, Major, USAFR
                                                                                                  Commander
