Shelbyville school adopts Kentucky Air Guardsman during Afghanistan deployment

Fourth-grade students from Clear Creek Elementary School in Shelbyville, Ky., sent this photo of themselves in front of their school flag pole to Staff Sgt. Krome Raymond, a Kentucky Air National Guardsman from the Louisville-based 123rd Airlift Wing who is currently deployed to Afghanistan. The children and their teacher, Stephanie Herndon (back row, left), “adopted” Raymond, who sent them an American flag that they hoisted above the building. A traditional Air Guard member, Raymond is a full-time employee of the Shelby County School District, along with his wife, Dawn (back row, right). (Courtesy Photo)
