The Air Force’s most senior leaders won’t be at the memorial service next week for a young airman who died by suicide, after a desperate plea from his father to have the service’s top brass in attendance. Two colonels will attend on behalf of Air Force leadership, the service said.
A grieving father who lost his son an airman at Cannon Air Force Base to suicide this month has written an open letter to the service's leadership, as well as the Joint Chiefs chairman and defense secretary.
