It is the Airman
In Memorial Honor to
Chief Master Sergeant Charles Charlie Raymond Mehle SR
It's the Airman,
not the pastor/preacher, who has given us freedom of religion and worship.
It's the Airman,
not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It's the Airman,
not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It's the Airman,
not the demonstration organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble and demonstrate.
It's the Airman,
not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It's the Airman,
not the politician, who has given us the right to vote, ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
It's the Airman, Who salutes the Flag, who serves beneath the Flag and whose coffin is draped by the Flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.
The American Airman does not serve and fight because he hates who is in front of him; he serves and fights because he loves who is behind him.
ETERNAL REST GRANT HIM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HIM.

Mr Charles earned his wings! Never a dull moment... Always walked in the doors with a smile on his face and a joke to tell! You will never be forgotten.

Whenever Chief would come to Personnel he would always ask me about:Why did the golfer wear two pair of pants and the first time I didn't know why the golfer wore two of pants and he said it is because he has a Hole in one. Rest In Peace> I don't know if you got a Hole In One (Golf), but you will get one in Heaven. GOD Bless The Mehle Family.
