Over the last 3 Ghost Skies campaigns Lt. Colonel Big_Fred and Major Derring have teamed up to lead our flights in combat in exemplary manner. During this time they have both consistently arrived before flight time and worked together to create flight packages that enabled the success of our various missions. This teamwork has allowed the =AVG= to bring a high number of planes and pilots home, including several missions without plane or pilot loss. Their sustained teamwork is exemplary in holding with the highest of personal and military standards. They are a credit to their uniforms and to the American Volunteer Group.

For his continuous dedication and teamwork Major Derring is hereby awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service.

Congratulations and Salute, Derring!

S! Well deserved, sir.
