Fairchild's African Americans reflect
Name: Captain Eddie Edwards -- Squadron & Duty Title: 92nd Comptroller Squadron operations flight commander -- Military Service: 9 Years -- How he feels about African American History Month: “This month demonstrates why I believe the United States of America is the greatest nation on Earth. The grand experiment in democracy our founding fathers pursued 200+ years ago was not without imperfections; slavery and segregation being two of the most terrible of those imperfections. However, when presented with an opportunity to correct an injustice, free the oppressed, or defend freedom, the American people led the way at home and abroad to ensure men and women are judged based on content of character, and not by their race or religion. Therefore, African American History Month is a reminder that we live in a great nation that has and will continue to be a beacon of hope and freedom throughout the world.” (Photos by Airman 1st Class Earlandez M.
