Alfred K. Flowers
Alfred K. Flowers (born December 29, 1947) is a retired United States Air Force Major General who served in many roles, culminating as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget. At the time of his retirement, Flowers had served more than 46 years on active duty, making him the longest-serving airman in Air Force history and the longest serving African American in the history of the United States Department of Defense. Prior to his retirement, the enlisted members of Air Education and Training Command presented Flowers with the Order of the Sword, the Air Force enlisted force’s highest honor for officer leadership.
==Early life==
Flowers was born in Jones County, North Carolina on 29 December 1947. He was raised in rural Jones County near Phillips Crossroads. At the age of ten, he started working in the fields with his grandparents, who were sharecroppers.
He graduated from Jones High School in 1965. Flowers could not afford to attend college so after graduating, he decided to enlist in the Air Force. Because he was only seventeen, his grandmother had to sign a release allowing him to enlist. Flowers entered the Air Force on 5 August 1965.〔Williams, Richard (Technical Sergeant) , ("Longest serving Airman calls it a career" ), Air Force Public Affairs Agency, United States Air Force, The Pentagon, Washington, District of Columbia, 21 November 2011.〕〔Hanks, Bryan C., ("Major General from Jones County set to retire after 46-year career in Air Force" ), ''The Free Press'', Freedom Communications, Kinston, North Carolina, 11 November 2011.〕〔Ruane, Michael E., ("Defense Dept.’s longest-serving general and African American retires" ), The Washington Post, Washington, District of Columbia, 4 November 2011.〕
