Respect. Sergeant Brandon F. USAF Honors Us All

Posted on June 30, 2017 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

United States Air Force Technical Sergeant Brandon F. from Abilene, TX sent us this flag that was flown across the skies of Afghanistan on May 11th, 2017 on a combat mission supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel on board a C-130J assigned to the 774 Expeditionary Air Lift Squadron. The mission was an Aeromedical evacuation carrying four wounded out of Afghanistan. Brandon sent us the flag and a certificate signed by the flight crew dedicated to Factory Five Racing. Brandon has a Factory Five Mk4 Roadster on order and will be building it upon his return from deployment.

On behalf of everyone at Factory Five Racing, we want to say thank you and give our deepest thanks to Brandon, his Air Force Unit, and all US military. Brandon’s flag will join others on our walls as a constant reminder of the dedication required to keep us free.

Taylor (Welding department) and Courtnie (Tech Support) show off the flag and certificate.

Brandon and his flight crew.

Awesome patch! Thanks for everything you do!

President
