Keeping the Force Strong
Senior Airman Yvette Fowlkes, a medical technician with the 379th Medical Group, packs sterile strips into a wound on Airman 1st Class Bobby Knight, 379 Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron here, Jan. 13, 2009, in an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. The sterile strips aids the wound in healing from the inside out, as well as keeps the wounded area from catching infection.
