The 388th Fighter Wing held a ceremony May 21 recognizing several Airmen for their bravery, service, and combat achievements during a 2025 deployment to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. During the ceremony, multiple Airmen were presented with the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Bronze Star Medal. The Distinguished Flying Cross is awarded for heroism and achievements during non-routine flight, engaged with an opposing force. The Bronze Star is awarded for heroic or meritorious actions in a combat zone. Receiving one or both is a rare achievement for military members. (U.S. Air Force illustration by Staff Sgt.
