U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. James Juniper (left), Staff Sgt. Ben Jacobs and Staff Sgt. Mark Cornett, NATO Air Training Command-Afghanistan special mission aviator advisors, pose for a photo while their Mi-17 helicopter is refueled at Tarin Khowt Airfield, Afghanistan. Just moments after this photo was taken the crew took-off on the mission that would cause Juniper to be awarded the Purple Heart. The October 8, 2013 mission was a troop movement mission transporting Afghan National Army commandos from Tarin Khowt Airfield in Uruzgan Province to the district of Gizab. The helicopter was engaged by small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades from multiple locations. (U.S. Air Force photo)
