Born to be Mild

Christian O'Connor holds the American Flag and the flag for his company, the 143rd, out of the top of the taxi-ing 747 on their way back in to the U.S. from the Persian Gulf a month after the end of the war. O'Connor and his company were welcomed back by thousands at Westover Airforce base in Chicopee, Massachusetts, where most Persian Gulf vets came home.
