Col. David Wyrick, 377th Air Base Wing deputy commander, and his spouse Christy Wyrick, 377 ABW key support liaison, introduce themselves to Thomas H. Begay, retired U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army veteran and Navajo Code Talker, at the New Mexico State Fair during its Military and Veteran Appreciation Day in Albuquerque, N.M., Sept. 10. Begay served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, from 1943-1946, in the 5th Marine Division Signal Company, and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, from 1947-1953, in the 7th Infantry Division. Begay is an Iwo Jim Survivor and has received the Congressional Silver Medal as recognition for his exceptional service as a Navajo Code Talker. Opportunities to meet servicemembers like Begay, allow our Airmen and community members to understand the heritage and sacrifice of those who came before us.
