    Master Sgt. Scott Kapanke holds some of the coins and a plaque he received during his 365-day deployment with the Coalition Air Force transition team. Kapanke was diagnosed with stage four cancer in 1995 and was medically retired while he underwent treatment. He beat the cancer and was then medically cleared to come back in the Air Force in 1997. Since his return to active Duty, he has taken a special duty assignment with the U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds and deployed for 365 days with the Coalition Air Force transition team to Southwest Asia to train the Iraqi air force C-130 aircraft maintenance. Kapanke is with the 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
