Aeromedical Evacuation Legacy

Normally, a bronze bust of the inductee is placed in the Mobility Memorial Park at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. But this time, a plaque is displayed with a photo. The photo is set at dusk as a parked ambulance with patients is being offloaded and carried by a silhouetted medical team onto a cargo ramp of an evacuation aircraft that is about to take off for a hospital at a safe haven. A sense of urgency and teamwork is conveyed in the photo, with the evacuation aircraft racing not just against the setting sun falling into darkness, but against death.
