Humiliation
Six very well-respected members of the air force’s infamous 436th Airlift Wing were part of the early arrivals. Everyone gathered to commemorate Captain John Mason’s, retirement. It was a joyous occasion.
Everybody in the air force knew that even though Captain John appeared to be a hard man, he was truly kind and sensitive. He was an honored man among the soldiers, and he served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He could have never predicted the hostile treatment he would receive in his hometown.
