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.
