b'It may seem surreal to see a modern uniform wornby Airmen today displayed alongside uniforms, weaponry and other aviation artifacts from different eras. Lockhart explains that common items to us today are madesignificant by missions and historic events like thatof OAR.Its funny, I think any Airman would look at this andsay, Its just a common OCP blouse, but its the piecethat is so recognizable, said Lockhart. In the earlyphases of this operation all that we were hearing onthe news was how bad the situation was and then tohave this touching image come out of just a simplehumanitarian gesture, it made such an impression onour country and our world. Its absolute gold.As for Baron, the big picture is not lost on him. Heoriginally joined with the goal of being a part of something bigger, and after his experience serving in OAR and his blouse now representing the heart of the mission, it maybe safe to say he achieved that. I think the blouse (gives a sense of) hope no matterwho they are or where theyre from.It makes me feel proud (of our mission) and of the crew.JNational Museum of theAirman First Class Nicolas Baron, 305th Air Mobility Wing Loadmaster, holds his blouse for Contract # 5842 Town & Country DinerUnited States Air Force the last time before donating it to the National History Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Joint 2022 Military Appreciation Resource MagazineBase McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J.(U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sergeant Shay Stuart)https://www.nationalmuseum.af.milThe National Museum of the United States Air ForceBreakfastcollects, researches, conserves, interprets and presentsLunchDinnerthe Air Forces history, heritage and traditions, as well as todays mission to fly, fight and win . in Air, Space and Cyberspace to a global audience through engaging exhibits, educational outreach, special programs, and the stewardship of the national historic collection.
