It includes historic figures like Eugene Bullard, an enlisted man in the French Foreign Legion badly wounded in combat who later earned his wings in France’s Aeronautique Militaire in 1917 to become the first black combat pilot ever.

The pocket heritage guide also includes
Senior Airman Zachary J. Rhyner, ambushed in Afghanistan with a Special Forces team on April 6, 2008 who, in a 6½-hour gunbattle in near-vertical terrain, laid down enough suppressive fire to allow others to be extracted. Rhyner, shot in the leg and trapped on a cliff under enemy fire, controlled more than 50 air strikes, some of them 100 yards from his position. He survived and received the Air Force Cross. https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/battle-of-shok-valley
