  • CREAM OF THE CROP

    I'm with the 45th Space Wing technical library. Your photographs are some of the best in the Air Force! They really stand out in Torch, and accompany the articles well.

  • FITTER FOR THE FUTURE

    I have just read the January/February 2007 issue of Torch, and I was very impressed by the scope of the articles and especially the clear and extremely important safety messages they gave. These messages are as important to the Royal Air Force as they are to your own.But I was particularly taken by

  • A PRAYER FOR CHLOE

    I want to applaud Capt. Kevin and Billie Lombardo for telling their heartbreaking story ("Tears for Chloe," March/April 2007 issue, cover story). As a father, I can't even imagine what they must be going through; yet, at the same time, they are still brave and unselfish enough to warn others of the

    I enjoyed "The 13th Student" in the January/February 2007 issue, page 15. The writing was entertaining, and I have to admit, I cracked up more than once. Good lessons learned, fun article ­-- keep up the good work!

  • OVER THE TOP

    I understand the military services bringing down the hammer on drunk drivers, but I'm concerned about your article "DOD Task Force Considers Crackdown for Drivers" (January/February 2007 issue of Torch, page 4).If I understand the article correctly, the Defense Department is considering penalties
