Maj. Curtis Dougherty, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds #4 slot pilot, converses with a Cheyenne Veterans Affairs Medical Center patient July 22, 2014. Dougherty and fellow Thunderbirds, Maj. Michael Carletti, flight surgeon; Master Sgt. Thad Smith, recruiter; Staff Sgt. Stan Weaver, #4 dedicated crew chief; and Staff Sgt. Jess Rivers, #4 assistant dedicated crew chief, visited the medical center to get a chance to interact with the veterans there. It was a great opportunity for the Thunderbirds to meet men and women who served in the U.S. military before them. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jason Wiese)
