Venezuelan's dreams soaring to new heights in Air Force

Pictured July 2006, Airman 1st Class Edward Camacho (right) is all smiles following a surprise visit to his family home in Guacara, Venezuela. Two years earlier, his father Juan Vicente, (pictured in middle) gave Edward a one-way ticket and his entire 30-year pension in hopes the young man's dream of becoming an Air Force officer, pilot and ultimately an astronaut, might one day be fulfilled. The supply troop deployed from Aviano Air Base, Italy, to Balad AB's 332nd Expeditionary Logistical Readiness Squadron in Iraq, recently learned he was selected for the Air Force Academy's Preparatory School in Colorado. Pictured on left is Edward's brother, Bryant. (U.S. Air Force photo)
