 Flags do a lot of traveling, mostly up and down the pole. Here at Saber Strike 2015, they visually demonstrate the bond between nations. Although it's not at the top of a pole, another flag travels horizontally and tells of a different kind of bond, the one between grandfather and grandson. I actually didn't even know that this existed until I got home from basic training in tech school. This is my Kentucky state flag from where I was born and raised. So what's a state flag doing at a national level exercise? I take it with me when I travel because Pawpaw gave it to me and it reminds me of home. He served 22 years in the Air Force, which I always thought was cool but I never really gave him much thought. And then I graduated college and then decided to join myself and then boom, we automatically had a common tie. A flag is tethered to the flagpole like this grandson is tied to his family's story. And this story continues here at Saber Strike 2015. So I'm here covering Saber Strike 2015 for AF in Europe where US troops and soldiers from all these different countries are coming together. We've got Germany and Poland even, that's just really interesting. They're coming together and building these partnerships that they started doing back when my grandpa was in and they continue to do so even into today. So of all the writing that I'm going to do while I'm here covering this exercise, this is probably going to mean the most to me, this writing right here. So this is the ledger that came with the flag that my grandpa wrote and it's just the last six years of his 22 year career that he took this flag. And it's been all over the world. We've got Vietnam, Korea, Okinawa, Langley, the Philippines. A family flag that's traveled across nations and time here at an exercise of Allied nations. And as all flags present write another story on the winds of history, another entry is added to the ledger. From Drosko Pomorsky Training Area, Poland, I'm Staff Sergeant Ben Woken.
