August 29, 201411 yr I drive by BAF all the time going to and coming back from drill weekend. Definitely hits close to home. Godspeed!
August 29, 201411 yr Toast to Moose! I was stationed with him in the Wild Boars at Mountain Home. As a young 1Lt, his hair used to be really long...to which the wing commander called him out during a First Friday at the 390th and told him to cut his "goldi-locks"...without hesitation, Moose said, "Nah Scottie (Brig Gen Robin Scott), I'm good bro," as he ran his hand through his hair. Everybody was roaring... Him, Him

May Moose forever sing dirty fighter songs in the fighter bar in the sky.

September 1, 201411 yr I know a dude in the squadron that was posting a link to the shirts -- that's the best validation I've got right now.
September 1, 201411 yr Can anyone validate that the funds will be sent to the family? I personally cannot, but this is the blurb from the site for anyone affiliated to vouch. Warriors, please buy a t-shirt. By doing so you will be helping raise money for the Fontenot family. Specifically your money will go to the girls 529's that have been set up at the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association. We all knew and loved Moose as a friend, Father, warrior and fighter pilot, and now you can show the world that you are one of Moose's Bro's!
