A four-foot tree represents the Airmen who lost their lives in combat with 48 gold stars at Headquarters Air Force Special Operations Command, Hurlburt Field, Florida, Dec. 4, 2020. Leadership with HQ AFSOC, 1st Special Operations Wing and 24th SOW, carried on a holiday tradition by placing red, white and blue stars to honor 365 fallen Airmen. The Honor Trees were created by AFSOC’s Preservation of the Force and Family as a way to remember and honor fallen Air Commandos since the command was established in 1990, with each star carrying the name and date of an AFSOC Airman.
