Nellis holds vigil following Vegas shooting

by Senior Airman Kevin Tanenbaum

Nellis AFB, Nev.

   The vigil was held in order to take a
moment out of an emotional day to focus
on Airmen.

   Nellis, like all of Las Vegas, was deeply
saddened and affected by the Las Vegas
shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music
Festival that took place downtown.

   The vigil addressed the fears of the
Nellis community and need to support
one another in order to move forward
together.
