Hurlburt dorm dedicated to an original Air Commando Published Oct. 13, 2006 By Staff Sgt. Mareshah Haynes 16 SOW Public Affairs HURLBURT FIELD, Fla -- The east wing of building 91053 was dedicated in honor of the late retired Senior Master Sgt. Carlous Christian during a ceremony here Sunday. The four-by-four style dormitory is located next to the Riptide Din-ing/Fitness Facility. Sergeant Christian was one of the original members of the 1st Air Com-mando Group and was known for his caring and dedication to his troops as a first sergeant. He served in many operations during his more than 30-year career, including the invasion of Burma in March 1944. While in Burma, India, Sergeant Christian was in a violent glider crash where he was one of only five survivors of a 22-man crew. Sergeant Christian's son and daughter-in-law and his two daughters were in attendance during the ceremony. They were presented with a mock-up of the memorial statue. Sam Sambogna, president of the Air Commando Association also attended the ceremony. The memorial will serve as a reminder of Sergeant Christian's commitment and dedication to the special operations community.
