20070303 News from CSM Tom Beyard in the Middle East



News from CSM Tom Beyard in the Middle East

March 3rd, 2007

Pictured above is CSM Beyard at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan. Notice that he is close to a delineated mine field – but why is he smiling? I’ll bet that when he and I were working together in Westminster City Hall, we both wish the “mine fields” in Westminster were as clearly marked.

The other picture is CMS Beyard’s…also from “Week 34.”

In an e-mail from CSM Tom Beyard from February 25th, 2007 he said:

Just returned from trip to Bagram, Afghanistan to visit our fix forward soldiers there. Had pleasure to present AAM to one soldier and to see our soldiers in action supporting the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade.

“Our soldiers are doing sheet metal work and provided maintenance support for (my redact) aircraft. Bagram is surrounded by the most beautiful mountains you have ever seen. The actual Bagram air base was used by the Soviets in their war against Afghanistan in the 1980s. The temperature there was very cold and damp and I admire all soldiers working and living in that environment. It is a credit to the toughness and training of our soldiers.”

In his recent e-mail, CMS Beyard calls attention to

“… how our soldiers are saving the Army thousands of dollars in component repairs. Also, (take note of the) photographs from my recent trip to Bagram, Afghanistan.”
