Embrace the moment
Seconds after Col. Robert Shepherd was doused with water from both a cooler of water and two firetrucks, he ran to embrace his daughter Allison, who was waiting on the ground to witness her dad's final C-17 flight here. Colonel Shepherd, a special assistant to the 512th Airlift Wing commander, is moving to Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. (U.S. Air Force photo/Capt. Jason Pennypacker)
