    A large group of U.S. Air Force personnel in ACU/ABU camouflage uniforms are gathered outside the 86th Airlift Wing Headquarters building, applauding and photographing a passing black Chevrolet van motorcade. The scene appears to be a dignitary visit or notable arrival/departure event at what is likely Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Personnel are lined up on both sides of the road, with some holding up phones and papers to capture the moment.

    Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone is greeted with a "Heroic Welcome" as he and Oregon National Guardsman Aleksander Skarlatos arrive at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Aug. 24, 2015. More than 200 Airmen and their families came out to line the streets and thank Stone and his friends for their bravery. Stone arrived at Ramstein while in transit to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center for follow-on medical treatment. Stone received multiple injuries, all of which were non-life threatening, while subduing an armed gunman on a train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris. Stone is an ambulance service technician with the 65th Medical Operations Squadron stationed at Lajes Field, Azores. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Damon Kasberg)
