The Arizona Daily Star reports that one airman died and another was injured Sept. 12 when they were struck by a forklift as they walked across a parking lot at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. A subsequent report revealed that the two airmen were MSgt. Melvin Peele and MSgt. Lisa Peele, husband and wife. It was the husband who died on the scene.
