Pennsylvania's 171st Air Refueling Wing deploys to Manas

MANAS AIR BASE, KYRGYZ REPUBLIC -- Staff Sgt. John Henn and TSgt. Sgt. Michele Mersing affix a sign pointing home to a well populated sign post here, Sept. 24. The two Guardsmen are deployed with 120 others and four KC-135s from the Pennsylvania Air National Guard's 171st Air Refueling Wing. The Pittsburgh unit is supporting Manas AB's 376th Air Expeditionary Wing, which serves as the premier air mobility and refueling hub for military operations in Afghanistan. Sergeant Henn's grandfather, a Korean War veteran, made the sign and sent it with his grandson to remind the Guardsman and his colleagues that the comforts of home and loved ones await their return, 6,467 miles away.
