U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Andrew Samerekovsky, from Bedford, Ohio, receives an autograph from Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, retired Army Col. Robert L. Howard and retired Command Sgt. Maj. Gary Lee Littrell, at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, April 7. The holders of the highest military award were starting their sixth trip throughout Southwest Asia over the past five years, to thank today's military men and women for their service. "They've been through the fight and understand our sacrifices," said Samerekovsky, while enjoying a brief break from duties in Iraq, by participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program in Qatar. "We appreciate all the celebrity support tours, but this visit has an entirely different level of meaning. This was a great surprise."
