Rescue community remembers fallen Pedro 66 Airmen<\/h3>\n

By Senior Airman Michael Charles | Nellis Public Affairs<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 66th Rescue Squadron held a ceremony for the crew of Pedro 66 June 9 in remembrance of the five Airmen who lost their lives after an HH-60 Pave Hawk crash last year.<\/p>\n

Lt. Col. Daniel Jefferies, 563rd Rescue Group deputy commander, presided over the one-year-anniversary memorial of the crash — the first time all Pedro 66 Airmen killed in the line of duty have been honored in a ceremony together.<\/p>\n

All five Airmen belonged to geographically-separated units of the 23rd Wing located at Nellis and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz.<\/p>\n

“These extraordinary Airmen have fulfilled the promise of the rescue community: these things we do, so others may live,” said Colonel Jefferies. “Their spirit will always be an inspiration.”<\/p>\n

Master Sgt. Christopher Aguilera and Capt. Anthony Simone, two survivors from the crash, were in attendance to pay tribute to their fallen comrades.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
