Emerging from the fog: An Airman’s journey through loss, healing, new beginnings
Lt. Col. Luke Lokowich, 5th Reconnaissance Squadron commander, with his daughter Avery at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., during the summer of 2000, a few months after she was born. Fifteen years ago, Lokowich lost his wife, JoAnne, when she suffered a cerebral hemorrhaging due to an aneurism. With the support of his family and friends, and healthy coping methods, Lokowich has been resilient, and has since remarried and still celebrates JoAnne’s life. (Courtesy photo)
