Brig. Gen. John Doucette (right center), the 36th Wing commander, and retired Lt. Col. Charles McManus (far right), formerly a Strategic Air Command master navigator, render a salute as the National Anthem is played during a memorial ceremony Dec. 17, 2010, at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, to honor the 33 Airmen who were lost during Operation Linebacker II. Operation Linebacker II got underway when, on Dec. 18, 1972, 87 B-52s were launched from Andersen in one hour and 43 minutes. Often called "the 11-day war," Linebacker II led to the renewal of the Paris Peace Talks and, on Jan. 28, 1973, the signing of a cease-fire agreement with the government of North Vietnam.
