Secret Squirrels celebrate 29 years

William Ward addresses those gathered to remember Operation Secret Surprise, Jan. 18, 2021 at Barksdale Air Force Base.

The operation opened up the Gulf War in 1991 and involved seven B-52 Stratofortress’ launched from Barksdale Air Force Base. Ward has been helping to organize the annual event since the group first gathered for its 25th anniversary in 2016. (U.S. Air Force photo by Ted Daigle)
