Flag flown in combat to thank YourLDSRadio.com
Every time Master Sgt. John Egbert goes up on a bombing mission in Afghanistan he knows there are lives saved and lives ended.
It comforts him after he lands to hear the sweet music on YourLDSRadio.com, so much so that the Air Force pilot from Sandy decided to fly a flag for the station and give it to them as a thank you when he returned stateside.
Friday, June 26, he did just that.
With emotion choking his voice, Egbert tried to describe what the music means to troops in combat to station manager Dave Dalley and program manager Sam Payne. "It just brings peace," said Egbert. "It's amazing how much your spirit gets lifted by the music."
