The stories of service are as varied as they are memorable.

• In the Evans family, three family members — Major Gen. A.J. Evans, Col. Philip Brooks, and Col. Richard G. Evans — served a combined 95 years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force.

Major General A.J. Evans entered the Army Air Corps in 1942 after graduation from West Point, flying fighters during World War II; Philip Brooks, who flew P-51s out of Great Britain, was in a dogfight with the first German jet ever spotted; and Richard G. Evans entered the Air Force and served in Vietnam.
