Roy Mullinax, a former Soldier and Airman, shakes hands with an Airman after being presented a veteran’s pin during a recognition ceremony, Dec. 8, 2015, in Newton, Kan. Members of the 22nd Air Refueling Wing Honor Guard recognized Mullinax’s years of service during a ceremony at the hospice center he lives in. Mullinax originally joined the Army towards the end of World War II, and enlisted in the Air Force soon after the conflict ended, ultimately working for the federal government for more than 50 years.
