Capt. Emilie Anderson speaks with an Alpini veteran who assisted in recovering Vajont Dam disaster victims. Prior to posing for the photo an Alpini veteran switched his Alpini hat with Anderson. On October 9th, 1963, a mega-tsunami at the Vajont Dam caused by landslides resulted in one of the worst man-made disasters in history. SETAF-AF provided the first helicopters to assist with recovery efforts, as well as medical supplies and personnel. (U.S. Army photo by 1st. Lt. Katherine Sibilla)
