U.S. Army Spc. Andre Reece, from Brooklyn, N.Y., meets NASA astronauts, Navy Capt. Heidemarie M. Stefanyshyn-Piper and Donald R. Pettit, at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Feb. 2. "These are my heroes, right here," said Reece. "They have actually seen Earth! They told me it's an amazing view." Stefanyshyn-Piper and Pettit were crew members during the STS-126 space mission in November 2008. Stefanyshyn-Piper performed two spacewalks during her work on the International Space Station. Pettit operated the robotic arm during four spacewalks performed by three members of the crew. Six STS-126 crew members were visiting service members in the Middle East and Germany, to show support while sharing experiences. The two-week trip is a first for Armed Forces Entertainment.
