U.S. Air Force Col. Daniel McDonough, the commander of the 182nd Airlift Wing, Illinois Air National Guard, shows Richard Ward II and Ann J. Ward a lineage display of the 169th Airlift Squadron unit emblem in Peoria, Ill., Aug. 27, 2020. The Wards are children of Capt. Richard Ward, an F-84D Thunderstreak pilot who died in an on-base aircraft accident during the June 1959 drill weekend. The captain’s Distinguished Flying Cross earned during the Korean War was bestowed to them by extended family during a ceremony on the installation after being lost for 61 years.
