SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- Members of Team Seymour visited Wayne Preparatory Academy in Goldsboro, North Carolina, earlier this month to pick up care packages and holiday cards that the students and faculty had prepared for deployed Airmen.

Members of the 911th Air Refueling Squadron ensured a successful delivery as they carried the packages with them on a flight the following week for their deployment rotation overseas.
