U.S. soldiers stationed in El Salvador participate in 'Pat's Run'
About 30,000 people participated in “Pat’s Run” on April 16 in Tempe, Ariz., but Sun Devil Stadium wasn’t the only finish line. U.S. Army Master Sgt. Terry Thompson, with some help, replicated the run more than a thousand miles south in El Salvador.

Air Force dentists treat more than 2,500 Salvadorans for BTH 2011
Air Force Capt. Brent Winward caught his fellow instructors off guard when he spontaneously removed his belt Thursday during an oral hygiene class for fourth graders in El Salvador.
Winward then asked for four student volunteers to stand in a diamond shape at the front of the class. Two of the children represented teeth as they stood in place. The other two children grabbed opposite ends of the belt and pulled back and forth with the belt sliding between their motionless partners, simulating a string of floss moving between two teeth.
The demonstration was meant to teach children the importance of flossing.
“Almost everyone here, children and adults, don’t know what floss is,” Winward said. “Education is a big part of it, but there is much more. Money and access are also big hurdles to overcome.”
That is an unsettling realization for 27 Airmen dentists and technicians who concluded Thursday their 10-day dental assistance exercise after treating more than 2,500 patients and performing more than 3,500 procedures. The assistance was part of Beyond the Horizon 2011, a 4-month-long, joint-service training exercise to provide construction, medical and dental support to the people of El Salvador. This month’s dental exercise is the first of two. The next one, led by the U.S. Army, is set to begin May 23.

American troops observe, learn from Salvadoran army weapons training
A platoon of recruits, from the Salvadoran army’s 5th Infantry Brigade, stood in formation ready to execute their mortar drills on the edge of a dirt soccer field. But before they are given the command, Lt. Oscar Gomez, the lead training officer today, sends them on a sprint across the field. Most return with smiles on their faces.
