Ok, so I'm a horrible American! When Travis told me General North came to visit their base, and their office, I knew it was someone really important, (I've herd his name a lot o the news...) but didn't quite know what he did, so, here is his bio!
Travis got to meet him, shake his hand, and even got 'coined' He is racking up quite a collection from being over there!
Lt. Gen. Gary L. North is Commander, 9th Air Force and U.S. Air Forces Central, Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. The command comprises five wings in the eastern United States and three direct reporting units, with more than 350 aircraft and 24,000 active-duty and civilian personnel. He is also responsible for the operational readiness of 18 9th Air Force-gained National Guard and Air Force Reserve units comprising the Air Reserve Component. As the Air Component Commander for U.S. Central Command, the general is responsible for developing contingency plans and conducting air operations in a 27-nation area of responsibility covering Central and Southwest Asia and the Horn of Africa.
