The Air Force has awarded an Airman’s Medal to Capt. David Burnett for his actions in June to save the lives of a mother and two small children trapped in their car after a major traffic accident. Burnett, who is commander of the 375th Military Personnel Flight at Scott AFB, Ill., received his award from Air Mobility Command boss Gen. Arthur Lichte.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
