    A group of people, including a military officer in a green flight suit and two civilian women, are gathered at a memorial monument dedicated to Boom Operators who paid the ultimate price serving their nation. The granite memorial displays names of fallen service members and features a Boom Operator insignia/emblem. The setting appears to be an outdoor memorial area on a military installation during winter or early spring.

    Staff Sgt. Christopher Pedersen, 54th Air Refueling Squadron boom operator instructor, speaks to Luella Klaverkamp and Lisa Pollreis about the Boom Memorial at Wings of Freedom Park, March 3, 2013. Klaverkamp and Pollreis are the mother and sister of late KC-135 Stratotanker boom operator, Airman 1st Class Bruce Klaverkamp, who died in a plane crash, March 13, 1972, during a routine training mission at Carswell AFB, Texas. The family made an 18-hour drive from Clear Water, Minn., to Altus AFB to visit the Boom Memorial where Bruce’s name is etched in stone, a testament to his service.
