The 919th Special Operations Wing inducted six new honorary commanders from the local community Nov. 15, 2017, at Duke Field, Florida. Shown from left along with their corresponding wing leadership pairings are: Lawrence Keefe, an attorney with Keefe, Anchors and Gordon law firm (919th Special Operations Wing Command Chief); Lynn Keefe, a pediatrician (919th Special Operations Medical Squadron); Mayor David Cadle, Mayor of Crestview (919th Special Operations Wing Commander); Leo Schoenherr, a Winn Dixie manager (919th Special Operations Mission Support Group); Emerson Lee, general manager of Lee Buick GMC (919th Special Operations Group); and Dale Rice, senior vice president, Hancock Bank (919th Special Operations Maintenance Group). The Honorary Commander program allows select community leaders frequent opportunities to visit Duke Field and learn about the mission, to participate in base functions and express their views on issues of mutual concern.
