Chief Master Sgt. Bryan “Skip” Ford, 512th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron superintendent, poses for a photo near the flight line near a C-5M Super Galaxy on Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Aug. 25, 2021. Ford recently recalled the events of Sept. 11, 2001, while stationed at Dover AFB and how 9/11 changed how he viewed our relative security and freedom as a nation.
