POW Medal Presentation

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III presented the Prisoner of War Medal to 1st Lt. Paul Gambaiana during a ceremony April 30, 2014, at the Pentagon. Gambaiana and eight other aviators, all bomber crew members, were shot down flying missions over Germany and were held in a prison camp in Wauwilermoos, Switzerland. The men were originally denied POW status. Then Acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning authorized the medal for 143 Army Air Corps Airmen in October 2013. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jim Varhegyi)
