Of all the units here, the Contingency Aeromedical Staging Facility gets almost daily reminders of what goes on outside Baghdad International Airport. Some of the injured soldiers in Iraq are brought through the CASF on their way to Germany.

Besides the medical care patients get at the CASF, they also get plenty of attention from the volunteers who visit with them as they wait for their flights.

Along with the group chaplains, there are about 10 airmen who regularly stop in after work to see if they can offer any assistance.

“I go to the CASF every night to help,” said Staff Sgt. Robert Grandstaff of the 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron. “Talking with (patients) allows us to see the war through their eyes.”
