Warrior Care—even 63 years after death

Nov. 22, 1952, is a day that lives forever in the minds of the Hoblit family. It's the day when their patriarch, Air Force Col. Noel Hoblit, a military dentist, lost his life when the military cargo aircraft he was on slammed into a snow-covered glacier on a mountain in Alaska. He was returning to Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, after an official trip to the Pentagon.

"It was the pivotal moment in my life," said retired Air Force Lt. Col. Fred Hoblit, who was just 6 years old when his father died that fateful day. "Everything that I have done or has happened to me professionally is a result of that event."
