Gregory, son of Staff Sgt. Daniel Stein, 8th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron crew chief, stands holding a crochet flag while wearing his dad’s squadron T-shirt. In November, Gregory suffered a fractured C-1 vertebra when the all-terrain vehicle he was riding flipped over. After the accident he told his dad, “Dad you being there serving the country is my impetus to get up and walk.” Gregory is scheduled to be released Dec. 17th. .
