Leadership with Air Force Special Operations Command, 1st Special Operations Wing and 24th SOW, carry on a holiday tradition by placing red, white and blue stars to honor 365 fallen AFSOC Airmen, Dec. 4, 2020. The Honor Trees were created by AFSOC’s Preservation of the Force and Family as a way to remember and honor fallen Air Commandos since the command was established in 1990, with each star carrying the name and date of an AFSOC Airman. A four-foot tree with 48 gold stars represents the Airmen who lost their lives in combat. A 7 1/2 foot tree bears 254 red and white stars for active duty Airmen, as well as 63 blue stars for civilians who died while serving in an AFSOC position. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
