Following his dreams
Jay Blake and 1st Lt. Sara Ruzzin, a member of the Air Force Research Laboratory, share a laugh as she signs Blake’s drag racing team car, on display at The Crossroads at Eglin Air Force Base Fla., March 20. Blake, who lost his sense of sight, smell and taste in a tire explosion accident in 1997, now owns one of the country’s top drag racing teams. He brought his inspiring ‘Follow A Dream’ message of perseverance to Eglin’s military members and civilians as part his commitment to community outreach. (U.S. Air Force photo/Kevin Gaddie)
