Thank you, my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for sharing the story from task and Putrpose which I also receive via email which honors retired Lt. Col. Mike Hoskins for hastily salvaging historical documents and memorabilia from the Wing historian's office as the raging Missouri River began to engulf buildings and runways at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska in March 2019.
"As floodwaters from the raging Missouri River began to engulf buildings and runways at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska in March, one retired officer was racing through the headquarters of the 55th Wing on a unique rescue mission: to save as much as the Wing's history as he could.
A fantastic Omaha World-Herald story details the efforts of retired Lt. Col. Mike Hoskins, a 28-year Air Force veteran and the 55th Wing's deputy director of exercises and plans, to hastily salvage historical documents and memorabilia from the Wing historian's office — an effort that included not only breaking down the door, but grabbing a stretch limo for an impromptu convoy."
