Father of fallen Airman honored with Gold Star ID

Forrest Carper, 2nd Force Support Squadron community readiness consultant, welcomes Larry Pierson to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., July 27, 2017. Pierson’s son, Capt. Jordan Pierson, a C-130J Super Hercules pilot, passed away while on his second deployment to Afghanistan in 2015. Pierson was granted a Gold Star ID Card, marking the first time a family member was issued base access to Barksdale through this initiative which began Air Force-wide May 15. Gold Star ID Cards are part of an Air Force initiative allowing Gold Star families unescorted access to Air Force installations to visit buried loved ones, attend base events and stop by Airmen and Family Readiness Centers for immediate and long-term emotional support.
