Bilateral Airmen unite to spread holiday cheer<br />
By Senior Airman<br />
Joe McFadden<br />
1st Special Operations Wing<br />
Public Affairs<br />
Despite more than 7,000 miles<br />
and at least 10 time zones between<br />
them, the junior enlisted forces<br />
of <strong>Hurlburt</strong> Field and Kunsan Air<br />
Base, Republic of Korea, teamed<br />
up to comfort the widows of former<br />
Airmen.<br />
Members of <strong>Hurlburt</strong> Airman’s<br />
Voice and Kunsan’s Airmen Committed<br />
to Excellence signed,<br />
sealed and delivered holiday cards<br />
to the more than 60 residents at<br />
the Air Force Enlisted Village’s<br />
Hawthorn House in Shalimar, Dec.<br />
19.<br />
“Being away from our families<br />
for so long, especially throughout<br />
the holidays, we know how<br />
important it can be to receive<br />
emotional outreach,” said Senior<br />
Airman Adam Borgman, a vehicle<br />
management journeyman of 8th<br />
Logistics Readiness Squadron at<br />
Kunsan and ACE president. “Each<br />
resident in the village sacrificed<br />
and gave up so much so each and<br />
every one of us could have the<br />
quality of life and freedoms we<br />
do.”<br />
Borgman, serving as HAV’s<br />
outreach liaison, participated in<br />
last year’s card collection and<br />
Hawthorn House visit. Now stationed<br />
in Korea, he and his fellow<br />
Wolf Pack Airmen organized<br />
card signings around Kunsan<br />
before sending the cards to their<br />
Air Commando counterparts for<br />
delivery.<br />
<strong>Hurlburt</strong> Airmen collected<br />
more signatures during lunch at<br />
the Reef Dining Facility, adding<br />
to the multitude of well wishes<br />
posted from Kunsan, both in English<br />
and Korean. They later visited<br />
every resident of the Hawthorn<br />
House, handing them the cards<br />
while wishing them a wonderful<br />
holiday season.<br />
“It is important for us, as Airmen,<br />
to show that no matter who<br />
you are, we are here to enrich<br />
the lives of everyone around us,”<br />
said Airman 1st Class Emmett<br />
Unbehagen, a cyber-system operator<br />
of 1st Special Operations<br />
Communications Squadron and<br />
Senior Airman Joe McFadden | USAF<br />

during a card delivery at the Air Force Enlisted Village in Shalimar, Dec. 19. HAV members coordinated with<br />
Airmen Committed to Excellence at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, to sign, seal and deliver the cards to<br />
the widows of the village.<br />

Senior Airman Joe McFadden | USAF<br />
<strong>Hurlburt</strong> Airmen signed holiday cards while at the Reef Dining Facility<br />
at <strong>Hurlburt</strong> Field, Dec. 19. The cards came from the Airmen of Kunsan<br />
Air Base, Republic of Korea, and were delivered to the widows of the Air<br />
Force Enlisted Village later that night.<br />
wanted to show our appreciation<br />
to the widows, particularly during<br />
this holiday season. I hoped that<br />
we made a difference in their day,<br />
