‘Jolly 22’

Post by Knife 04 » Fri Jan 07, 2022 11:04 pm

We all remember the sad loss 8 years ago this evening, 7th January 2014, of the crew of 'Jolly 22' of the 56th Rescue Squadron

Captain Sean Ruane
Captain Christopher Stover
TSgt Dale Matthews
SSsgt Afton Ponce

All are sadly missed by the 'Jolly Green' brotherhood and us alike - God Bless and RIP
