Precious Cargo: 33rd FTS Airman delivers medal to Fort Carson soldier

Army Maj. Michael Harrison (left) and Air Force Capt. Michael Harrison on the tarmac at Colorado Springs Airport, June 30. In 2010, while both service members served in Afghanistan, Capt. Harrison was erroneously awarded a NATO Meritorious Service Medal intended for Maj. Harrison (who was then also a captain). The clerical error resulted in correspondence that culminated with a special delivery from the Vance airman to the Fort Carson soldier. (Photo courtesy of U.S. Air Force)
