Alaska Air National Guardsmen Check on Rescued Afghan Boy BAGRAM, Afghanistan – Members of the Alaska Air National Guard's 210th Rescue Squadron check on Zacharias, an Afghan boy rescuedlast month. After suffering life-threatening injuries in a car crash last month in Jalalabad, the boy was brought to the Bagram hospital by the 210th Rescue Squadron, a rescue which almost certainly saved his life. Capt. Zerkel brought Zacharias a stuffed toy dog sent over from the United States. When he got it, Zacharias said, "My dog is bigger than your dog," and gave a smile that hospital staff reported was his first since arriving. Zacharias' health continues to improve, says pararescueman Brandon Steumke, who checks in on him periodically.
