At seven years of age, one Airman deployed to the 332nd AEW suffered what most would consider an unrecoverable tragedy.
Senior Airman Francis Andrew was born in Sudan in Northeast Africa where one night his town suffered the ravages of civil war, as soldiers attacked without warning ripping him from the life he’d known until that point.
This is how his journey to the United States and to the U.S. Air Force began in 2001.
He found himself at a refugee camp first in Ethiopia and then in Kenya. He spent 14 years all of his childhood in those camps.

“You see a lot of things that kids should not see you see people dying in front of you, there are times where there was no food and water,” he said describing his life during those years.
