Staff Sgt. David Lund, 86th Civil Engineer Squadron, Civil Engineer Fire Department, mans the blood pressure station while Students at Ramstein Middle School receive their annual health screening. With the assistance of volunteers from numerous organizations within the base medical community, more than 860 students in grades six through eight were seen in three short days. Among the many organizations that provided volunteers were the U.S. Air Forces in Europe Surgeon General, 86th Aerospace Medical Squadron, 86th CES, 86th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, 86th Medical Support Squadron, 86th Medical Group and 21st Operational Weather Squadron. These civilians and service members were friendly, helpful, efficient and, above all, patient. Without their support, students could not have received their health screening in such a timely manner.
