831st Air Division and memory

Eddie Ballom served in the 831st Air Division at George Air Force Base, California from 1964 to 1965.  I remember so well when on his off day, he took my brother and I to where he worked on the base as a jet engine mechanic.  We got to sit in a jet aircraft and we went into a cargo plane as well.  I remember how proud he was to introduce his sons to the other Airmen and the apparent respect and camaraderie exhibited.

I bought this 831st Division Patch for a couple of dollars on Ebay.
