In Afghanistan Evacuation, Air Force Once Again Rises to an Enormous Challenge (John Venable, The Heritage Foundation)

While you may be thinking it was unprecedented for an Air Force that just celebrated its 74th birthday, you might be surprised at how many times our amazing airmen have stepped up in similar situations.
