"Ten years ago, we published the first edition of our lists of USAF personnel who served in Bremerhaven. Now, we publish this commemorative edition to honor all those who have passed before us -- some whose stay was brief as we shared a short tour of duty, others whose contact endured a little longer as we renewed friendships along the way, and yet others whose departure is felt keenly as they PCS to their heavenly home. We salute all those who served with us and those who now serve to protect our freedom. We gladly stand ready to share our memories and our tributes with the spouses and children of those who left early. We entrust our legacy and our values to those who remain, as we reach for the heavens and rejoin our friends and comrades."
-- Arlen Trapp
