Cuban Missile Crisis Legacy:
In October 1962, the U.S. Air Force played a critical role in discovering, monitoring, and preparing to neutralize Soviet nuclear missile sites in Cuba. USAF U-2 spy planes provided photographic evidence of the missiles, while Tactical Air Command prepared for massive airstrikes, and Strategic Air Command (SAC) raised its readiness to DEFCON 2, placing bombers on airborne alert. This tee honors that legacy of vigilance and readiness.
