    U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. David A. Randolph, 30th Security Forces Squadron senior enlisted leader, then an Airman First Class, poses on a Humvee in July 2005 that was damaged by a landmine during a convoy to Mosul, Iraq, on June 22, 2005. Randolph and his team posed relative to the positions they were sitting in the Humvee during the attack. All three Airmen were awarded Purple Hearts for their injuries. While he physically recovered, Randolph endured years of suppressed emotional strain stemming from the incident. Randolph recently shared his story during a Hawk Talk event at Vandenberg Space Force Base, emphasizing the resilience of service members and the critical need for mental health support.
