The Air Force Cyberspace Operations and Support Hall of Fame will induct six new members during a ceremony June 27 at JB Andrews, Md. They are: retired Maj. Gen. Dale Meyerrose, retired Brig. Gen. Bruce Bohn, retired Brig. Gen. Avon James, retired Lt. Col. Grace M. Barth, retired CMSAF Eric Benken, and retired CMSgt. Timothy Long. Each individual is being honored for his “significant contributions” to both the Air Force and their specific career field while serving in the public and private sectors, said service officials April 18.
