Cancer survivor brings resilience message to Airmen

Maj. William Fish, 96th Bomb Squadron director of operations, and Ray Johnston, American 300 guest, play the song "Wagon Wheel" for Airmen of the 96th BS on Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, June 2, 2015. After being diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, a doctor once told Johnston his chances of seeing age 33 were bleak. However, having previously joined the Dallas Mavericks basketball team as a walk-on, Johnston has never been one to quit. Though cancer cut his run in the NBA short, he has defied the odds once again by turning his love for country music into a full-fledged career. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Curt Beach)
