What a cool trip to the Air National Guard support center in Birmingham! The kids got to get hands on with a few of the guns used by these brave guys. They loved that. I think this one on the left is the one they use on the Chinook. 
They also got to get in and buckle down in one of the chinooks for a cool lesson on what goes on during a typical mission.
Sargeant Stewart showed the kids some of the gear that he has to wear. Boy this thing by itself was heavy!
This is the helmet with face shield that he would use. Kind of looks like Darth Vader...uh?
So cool!!!
This is inside the support center where they do maintenance and prepare for the next mission.
This is an older copter they got to see.
Sargeant Stewart and his crew will be leaving in August for active duty for 10 months on a chinook in Iraq. He is the "door gunner". Very dangerous I am sure. Please be in prayer for him and all of the brave soldiers fighting for us!
