Air Force takes care of Keesler's expectant mothers
LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Senior Airman Kimberly Harris (center) signs in at Wilford Hall Medical Center here after being evacuated from Keesler Air Force Base, Miss., because of Hurricane Katrina on Aug. 30. Normally, expectant mothers past 36 weeks of pregnancy are recommended not to fly, but because of the conditions at Keesler, 36 expectant mothers, many of them close to their due dates, and their families were flown here to deliver their children. Senior Airman Harris is in her 37th week of pregnancy with her first child and is a vehicle operations specialist from Keesler. (U.S. Air Force photo by Dewey Mitchell)
