Brig-Gen-Howard-P-Purcell
Airman 1st Class Ricardo Badilla, left, and Airman 1st Class Edwin Martinez, right, pin silver stars on
newly-promoted Brig. Gen. Howard P. Purcell, 162nd Wing Commander, Nov. 7 at the 162 Wing at the Tucson
International Airport. Breaking from tradition, Purcell chose the most junior enlisted Airmen from each group to
perform the honor of pinning on the service dress jacket’s silver stars and placing new shoulder boards for his dress
shirt – embodying a commitment to his own Air National Guard family. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt.
