Richard Ward II and Ann J. Ward, sitting, are the children of the captain, an F-84D Thunderstreak pilot who died in an on-base aircraft accident during the June 1959 drill weekend. Ward’s Distinguished Flying Cross earned during the Korean War was bestowed to them by extended family during the ceremony after having been lost for 61 years. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech.
