When I think of battle buddies, I think of all the “fingerprints” on the mission. When I got to the flight line, I didn’t just see the airplane I was about to fly in combat. What I saw was the fingerprints of so many people—from family to community, from airmen to technicians to engineers. When I think about the fingerprints on my airplane, I want to say thank you. And during my time flying combat missions, the fingerprints were personified by Sergeant Dave Westrup.
