Re-enlistment marks milestone for accident victim
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Tech. Sgt. Hector Barrios stands with his dog during his re-enlistment ceremony here recently. After a two-ton concrete barrier fell on his leg and foot while deployed supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom in July 2003, Sergeant Barrios faced an 18-month struggle of amputation, reconstruction and infections before he gained medical clearance to remain in the Air Force. Sergeant Barrios is a dog handler with the 96th Security Forces Squadron here. (U.S. Air Force photo by Will VanderMate)
