Most recently, he served at the Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan with the 187th Fighter Wing from Montgomery, Alabama. During his time serving in Afghanistan, <strong>Barbara McCormack<\/strong>, an undergraduate adviser in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, worked tirelessly to ensure Bennett was able to continue his studies and complete classes as a transient student. To show his sincere gratitude upon returning from deployment, Bennett presented a flag to McCormack that was flown on his mission.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-3471 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2015\/05\/gift-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"gift\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2015\/05\/gift-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2015\/05\/gift-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2015\/05\/gift.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u201cI will forever be appreciative for the effort she put forth,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cThis is the reason she deserved the flag, to remember her dedication will never be forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Typically the flags flown on missions are used to commemorate the experience of serving in a war zone or to show appreciation to someone a member of the force feels deserves it.
