To: vColonel Ken “Wolf” Hall, Group Commander, 355th Virtual Fighter Group

Dear vColonel Hall,

The Group Adjutant suggested you be put forward for an award based on your huge commitment, in terms of personal time and effort, to the formation of and nurturing of the 355th Virtual Fighter Group.

Your leadership has been steadfast, through both the difficult and easy times for the Group. In particular you have fostered a sense of duty to accompany position and have helped to set a fine example for the officers of the Group. 

Sincerely,                                                                                                          vMajor Iain “Bear” Howe

Group Adjutant
