I served in the old USAFSS from early 1951 to early 1955. Bill Rogers who designed the USAFSS emblem was a personal friend at the time. I watched him design the command emblem, using his skill with an air brush because we worked in the same department. After I was discharged to attend college, I made a trip back to San Antonio, TX, to visit Bill and his new family. He had gotten married, was the father of a baby girl and had reenlisted in the AF. After that, I lost contact with him and have never been able to locate him since.

56 years after the fact, I was decorated by the USAF's Chief-of-Staff for a 1954 USAFSS operation in which I and General H. H. Bassett were the principle participants that was declassified after all those years. If interested, it became a footnote to the presidential history of Dwight D. Eisenhower. A very brief account of the event is posted on the government web site of U. S. Congressman Louie Gohment at https://gohmert.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=212070.
