    Air Force Junior ROTC cadets from Warner Robins High School thank World War II veterans for their service, during a reception held at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, Ga. on Aug. 21. John Barrett, an Army private first class during the war, is a Purple Heart and Silver Star recipient. His medals were for being wounded in action and taken as a prisoner of war. The reception honored veterans who served aboard B-17s and celebrated the arrival of a B-17 Flying Fortress which will be displayed at the museum. The engines, wings and tail section of the aircraft -- which arrived a day earlier -- were on display during the reception. At the event, several B-17 crew members shared their memories of the aircraft with nearly 200 attendees. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tommie Horton)
