Sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I always enjoyed talking with him and trading USAF stories and experiences.
I made a contribution to the Air Force Aid Society (AFAS) the official charity of the United States Air Force in his name–Steve Brun, Major USAF.
AFAS helps relieve financial distress of Air Force members and their families and assists them in financing their higher education goals. Its three-pronged charter promotes the Air Force mission by providing worldwide emergency assistance to members and their families, sponsoring educational assistance programs, and offering a variety of base community enhancement programs that impact member/family welfare
