Meatball, USAF Retired

Although a bulldog is the US Marine Corps mascot, “Meatball” is US Air Force blue through and through! Owned by recently retired USAF Col. Ken Lynn and his wife Monica, Meatball spent his last few years at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro listening to the daily roar of F-15E Strike Eagles overhead and then at Langley AFB in Hampton, Va., where the even louder F-22A Raptors interrupted his favorite pastime of sleeping.

Now that he too is “retired” and living atop his own quiet little mountain in Ashe County, Meatball has made the sunroom, with its beautiful scenic view, his very own pet palace where he snoozes in between playtimes with his favorite stuffed football.
