Mark Burleson, 48th CS military postal clerk, to RAF Lakenheath after his arrival August 25, 2009. The sponsorship program is designed to provide newcomers with a personal contact at their new base. Sponsors assist newcomers by arranging necessities such as lodging and a post box. The program is the first line of defense for inbound Airmen and their families. (U.S. Air Force photo/A1C Eboni Knox)
