Purple Heart for Jamie Himes Dana

1 comments | Wednesday, August 10, 2005

I just recieved this picture from Congressman John Peterson's office.
The picture shows Michael L. Dominguez, the acting Secretary of the Air Force at the time (current SecAF is Pete Geren), giving Jamie the medal. The second and third pictures feature AF Chief of Staff Gen. John Jumper prominently. Her husband, Mike, is wearing the navy blue shirt. Her parents are on the right side of the bed.

From what I've read about Jamie, she really wanted to be able to stand up and receve her award in uniform. She's also apparently doing much better than she was when this picture was taken.
