retirement ceremony
Civil Air Patrol Cadets march past Advanced Pararescue Orientation Couse instructors during the retirement ceremony of William Hart Pitsenbarger a pararescueman who gave his life aiding and defending a unit of soldiers pinned down by an enemy assault in Vietnam, and Jason D. Cunningham a pararscueman killed in action while taking part in Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan. The cadet carried stokes litters with 200 pound training dummies that both symbolically represented both Pitsenbarger and Cunningham in a ceremony that concluded the 10 day APJOC. The cadets used these training dummies throughout the entire course for training purposes. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Master Sgt. Luke Johnson)
