Camp McCool's brief impact

Lt. Col. Adam Musoff, U.S. Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron-2 commander, carries away the colors during the Camp McCool closing ceremony at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Aug. 8, 2012. The camp was named after U.S. Navy Commander William C. McCool, a space shuttle astronaut who perished when the shuttle “Columbia” broke up during reentry into Earth’s atmosphere 16 minutes before its scheduled landing. Camp McCool was opened shortly after CMDR McCool’s death. The camp had been home to the Marine Corps Prowler community since 2009. (U.S. Air Force photo/SSgt Jeff Nevison)
