Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex Host Khobar Towers Exhibit

A rededication ceremony was held in Montgomery Thursday honoring 19 members of the United States Air Force killed in June 1996 in the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi, Arabia.  The Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex hosted the event with a wreath laying ceremony and unveiling of the Khobar Towers, a new exhibit featuring personal items and military uniforms from the towers.  WVAS News spoke with one of the survivors, Roger Wilson who says his life was forever changed by the blast.  The new exhibit is on display at the USAF Enlisted Heritage Hall.
