GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Airman 1st Class Marcellio Kirchner of the 17th Medical Wing at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, describes some of the difficult times in his life and how he pushed through.

"First Faces" began several years ago with chaplains from throughout AETC nominating Airmen from individual wings. Today, the program has expanded and includes a partnership between the chaplain's and public affairs offices, in order to reach a wider audience. Each Airman's story is a powerful way to infuse hope and resilience. Airpower Starts Here!
