    Lt. Gen. Bradley Heithold, Air Force Special Operations Command commander, speaks during a ceremony commemorating the 35th Anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw at the air park on Hurlburt Field, Fla., April 24, 2015. Operation Eagle Claw was an attempted rescue mission April 24, 1980, into Iran to recover more than 50 American hostages captured after a group of radicals took over the American embassy in Tehran Nov. 4, 1979. The mission resulted in the deaths of eight American service members at a remote site deep in Iranian territory known as Desert One. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Melanie Holochwost)
