For National Nurses Week, we're highlight one of the most critical jobs in the Mississippi Air National Guard: the flight nurses of the 183rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron. Whether they're extending care from a battlefield to a hospital, treating victims of a natural disaster or practicing healthcare in their community, U.S. Air Force flight nurses are some of the most dedicated professionals you will find anywhere in the world. Please join us in celebrating the power of nurses today and every day. (U.S. Air National Guard video by 2nd Lt. Jared Bounds)
