SEMPER FI !!!
2/9/2007 - TRAVIS
AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- An injured Marine received an unexpected upgrade in his flight home
from Iraq
here Feb. 8.
Marine
Lance Cpl. Steven Eastburn from the Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe, Hawaii, was on his way home to be with his family during
his recovery. One of his stops along the way was at the David Grant
USAF Medical
Center's Aeromedical
Staging Facility.
Unbeknownst
to him, at the same time he was awaiting his flight, Gen. Peter Pace, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, was landing at Travis
for a quick "gas and go" en route to Hawaii.
When
General Pace learned a fellow Marine was on his way home after being injured in Iraq, he didn't hesitate.
"When
I greeted General Pace and Mrs. Pace on the flight line one of the things I mentioned was that we currently had a Marine that
was wounded in Iraq waiting transportation in our aeromedical staging facility," said Col Steve Arquiette, 60th Air Mobility
Wing Commander. "The next words out of his mouth were 'let's go' and we were off."
Arriving
at the DGMC, the general went straight for the Marine's room and knocked on the door.
"Hey,
Marine! Are you up for a visitor?" he shouted. When the Marine responded with a hearty, "Yes, Sir," he didn't have a clue
who he was responding to.
"Corporal
Eastburn was in shock to say the least," said Col. Arquiette. "General Pace found out the corporal was going to
Hawaii
as well and said, 'You're coming with me, we'll go home together.'"
The
general's flight was delayed for a short period of time as medical personnel gathered Corporal Eastburn's belongings, checked
him out of the hospital and prepared him for the flight home, but the general didn't mind one bit.
"Delaying
the flight to take a wounded warrior home was the right thing to do," the general said. "If I can get him home five or six
hours earlier to see his family, I'm going to do it."
The
general's generous offer was not lost on the staff at the DGMC.
"While
it was amazing experience for me to meet the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I think it was more of a highlight for
the patient," said Staff Sgt. Darwin Diaz, 60th Aerospace Medicine Squadron Aeromedical operations technician. "Not everyone
gets offered a ride home by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."
"I
was very impressed by his attitude toward the wounded Marine," said Senior Master Sgt. Scott Williams, 60th AMDS. "He
was more concerned about the injured Marine than he was about all the prestige his position gives him."
General
Pace departed the base with Corporal Eastburn commending Team Travis' assistance.
"This
was a much more productive stop than I ever would have expected," he said. "In a very short amount of time, you all went above
and beyond to support my request."
