Portraits in Courage
(Then) Cadet 1st Lt. Alison Nordlander snapped a photo of the mushroom cloud rising when a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, exploded April 17, 2013. Norlander and two other cadets disregarded their personal safety to provide life-saving medical care during the explosion that claimed 15 lives and injured hundreds. Nordlander, now a commissioned 2nd lietuenant with the 96th Medical Group, and her fellow cadets were recently honored in this year’s Air Force Portraits in Courage series which highlights the extraordinary acts of Airmen, who put their lives on the line to save others during dangerous situations. .
