New tradition, continuing legacy: 137th SOW patching ceremony

U.S. Air Force Col. Christopher Gries, commander of the 137th Special Operations Wing, Oklahoma National Guard, tacks on the 137th Special Operations Wing patch for Airman 1st Class Jarret Tyra, 146th Air Support Operations Squadron tactical air party control specialist, Oklahoma National Guard, during a patching ceremony at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base, Oklahoma City, Mar. 4, 2023. The Airmen were issued the camouflage patch, the subdued emblem symbolizing the ethos of the air commando, while the colorized version consists of blue sky and clouds that symbolize the domain of air power and three lightning bolts that symbolize the capabilities Airmen exert in the air, on land and in cyberspace.
