Six American airmen are missing tonight after a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker was reported down during a mission over western Iraq. According to early reports, the aircraft was operating in the region when the incident occurred. There were six crew members aboard the KC-135 at the time. Search and rescue operations began shortly after the aircraft was reported down, and teams on the ground are continuing to search the area. The KC-135 plays a critical role in supporting U.S. and allied aircraft around the world, providing aerial refueling that keeps missions going in the air. Behind every mission are dedicated crews who carry out their duties with courage and professionalism. Right now, the focus remains on the rescue efforts and on the hope that the crew can be located safely. For the families of those six airmen, every moment of waiting can feel like an eternity. Please take a moment tonight to say a prayer for these brave men, their families, and the rescue teams working tirelessly to find them. 🇺🇸🙏 #fblifestyle
