Legacy Data Plate Wall of Honor Tribute Ceremony

Technical Sergeant Cheryl Przytula from the U.S. Air Force Band of Flight performs "Taps" at the 2017 Legacy Data Plate Wall of Honor Tribute Ceremony held at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force on May 25, 2017. Traditionally, all military aircraft have a data plate, which identifies the builder, and includes the aircraft model designation, serial number, and other important information. These Legacy Data Plates extend this tradition as a means to recognize and honor individuals.(U.S. Air Force photo by Ken LaRock)
