    Airman 1st Class Anthony Webber, 365th Training Squadron, Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, shovels debris into a pile June 8 in Moore, Okla. An EF-5 (Enhanced Fujita scale rating) tornado ripped through the central Oklahoma town May 20 with winds in excess of 210 mph winds. The twister was reportedly on the ground for 39 minutes and carved a path through neighborhoods for more than 17 miles. Webber, in training for CV-22 Osprey avionics, was among 70 Airmen who volunteered to clean up debris. He said, "This is why we joined the Air Force, to serve people."
