U.S. Air Force Airman David M. Henschen graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training also earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Henschen is a 2017 graduate of J.M. Tate High School.

    I had the privilege of being this young man’s teacher many years ago. I have also been blessed to be able stay in touch. To say I am proud of him does not even begin to express how I feel. David, I am honored to be a part of your life and watch you grow into such an amazing young man. Thank you for choosing to serve our country and protect our freedoms. You are, in my eyes, a hero!

    Very proud of my son. As a baby he fought for his own life being born so early, now he is fighting for everyone in the United States.
