Red Friday - April 30

Airman 1st Class Kylle Krzywiecki shows the underwater cave he dove into to rescue a drowning man in Guam last month. Airman Krzywiecki, along with Airman 1st Class Mark Gregg and Airman 1st Class Caleb Rodriguez performed CPR and ran more than a mile through jungle and beach terrain to contact emergency services. The victim, Christensen Kimi from the island of Chuuk, survived and was released in good health from the hospital a day and a half later. Airman Krzywiecki, Gregg and Rodriguez are assigned to the 36th Munitions Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

Red Friday - April 16

A hospital is not the place you'd choose to celebrate your 6th birthday, but that's exactly where this little guy spent his.  He has spent more than 80 days recovering in a military hospital after being injured by an IED in Afghanistan. Sending prayers and good wishes for his recovery.
