    Tech. Sgt. Mark Hopkins, 319th Civil Engineer Squadron, spent 43 days at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, N.D., after suffering a motorcycle accident that nearly ended his life. His road to recovery didn’t end there, however; it would be several months before Hopkins could have his head hardened with titanium while the healing process continued. During that time, he was forced to wear a black medical helmet to protect his brain from further injury, which his doctor said could very well kill him. (Courtesy photo)
