Air Force Public Affairs Alumni Association Chairman Jay DeFrank and Air Force Director of Public Affairs Brigadier General Pat Ryder have announced the first group of inductees for the new Air Force Public Affairs Hall of Fame. Included in the class of 15 enlisted, officers and civilians are our own Mr. Ken Hackman and CMSgt Douglas Morrell (USAF, Ret.) for their lasting contributions to Air Force Public Affairs history and traditions.
Establishment of the Air Force Public Affairs Hall of Fame was initiated by AFPAAA. The inductees were chosen by a committee of representatives from all the specialties included in the Public Affairs community. Renée Tyron represented USAF Combat Camera Association.
Profiles, photos, and bios of the inductee are on a new Hall of Fame page on AFPAAA’s website: https://www.afpaaa.org/hall-of-fame-home.html. A video display of the Hall of Fame members will also be a featured part of the Air Force heritage wall now under construction at the Defense Information School, Fort Meade, Maryland.
Hall of Fame inductees will be recognized each year at AFPAAA’s Annual Membership Meeting. Ken and Doug will be recognized this year at AFPAAA’s 27th Annual Membership Meeting September 29th – October 1st at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.
