SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) - A nonprofit organization's Web site is letting people pay tribute to Air Force heroes.
A section in the Air Force Memorial Foundation's Web site, titled Air Force Heroes, allows people to honor an Airman with a paragraph about what makes them extraordinary.
With the Air Force memorial scheduled to open in the mid-October, the Web site is a great resource for people to prepare for the opening, said Maj. Kimberly Tebrugge, a public affairs officer for the 60th Air Force Anniversary Office.
"It is a great opportunity for people to see those who may have slipped through the cracks in regards to recognition," Major Tebrugge said.
Major Tebrugge thinks the Web site has been underused because it is new and not many people know about it.
"It is very important to recognize the proud heritage we have and the sacrifices and contributions of those who pioneered ahead of us," she said. "It makes you proud to see a collective representation of the similar values that we all share as Airmen and how they are displayed in different ways."
People interested in posting a tribute, or browsing the tributes that have already been posted, can visit the Web site at www.airforcememorial.org/heroes/.
