There are now two roads dedicated to MSgt. Randy Gillespie, who was killed by small arms fire in Afghanistan in July 2007. Airmen at Bagram Air Base on Jan. 1 dedicated “Gillespie Way” to the fuels specialist, while his home base at Luke AFB, Ariz., dedicated “Gillespie Drive” in his honor last month. Gillespie’s wife, Lisa, attended the Luke ceremony. (Bagram report by Capt. Michael Meridith)
