Senior Airman Deonte Spann, 345th Maintenance, poses for a quick photo with his two oldest sons, Deon and Catrell, before deploying to Southwest Asia. The 345th Airlift Squadron "Golden Eagles" deployed May 9, one year ahead of schedule as they reached their full operation capability earlier than required. The 345th AS will be the lead squadron in the Total Force Integration effort with their Reserve squadron counterparts, the 815th AS "Flying Jennies." (U.S. Air Force photo by Maj. Heather Newcomb)
