Samek Airmen's Center

Mrs. Julia Samek mother of Airman 1st Class Jesse Samek wipes away her tears as the crowd applauds her during the Samek Airmen's Center Dedication ceremony at Nellis Air Force Base on July 13, 2009. The newly renovated Airmen's Center is renamed in honor of Airman 1st Class Samek. Samek was killed when his HH-60 helicopter crashed during a rescue mission in Afghanistan in 2004. Samek was the first Airman from Nellis Air Force Base to sacrifice his life in the war on terrorism following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Tech. Sgt. Michael R. Holzworth)
