Tango Yankee Tango Yankee

“Tango Yankee!” In the UFAF, a few decades ago, using the phonetic alphabet was how we expressed “thank you” to our peers on various radio frequencies. It was a simple, yet effective way to acknowledge each other’s contributions and camaraderie.

Pictured is my friend Neil Horn. We served together at Offutt AFB, NE in the early 80’s. He is participating in “Thanksgiving Pursuit,” by giving a copy of “Justice Revealed” to a retired LEO from Minnesota. This campaign involves distributing over 1200 books to peace officers in 19 states and approximately 26 different geographical locations, and the numbers continue to rise. The goal is to show appreciation and support for those who serve and protect our communities.

I am deeply humbled by the committed partnership in this effort. My hope is that peace officers will feel thanked as they receive a free copy of this book, knowing that God is in pursuit of their lives. It’s a small gesture, but one intended to convey sincere gratitude for their service and sacrifice. The book, “Justice Revealed,” is meant to be an encouragement and a reminder that they are not alone in their difficult work.

While words cannot fully express my gratitude, I simply say, “TANGO YANKEE,” to Neil and so many others! The results of your faithfulness are immeasurable!
