Phoenix Ravens secure aircraft supporting Operation Unified Response
January 28th, 2010
When Tech. Sgt. Toma Ferguson received a phone call Jan. 15 putting him on alert for a flight to support Operation Unified Response, he was excited about being able to provide relief and support to the millions of Haitians impacted by the earthquake.
Since leaving Jan. 16 on his first flight, the Phoenix Raven assigned to the 628th Security Forces Squadron here has made two other trips on Jan. 18 and 20.
"The impact we have by bringing back the evacuees will have lifelong meaning to them," said Sergeant Ferguson a native of Cross, S.C. "You can see the suffering in their eyes and the despair in the kids as they get on the plane, but it's amazing they still laugh and smile as kids will always do."
