Summary

Participants and volunteers watch a memorial video during the opening ceremony for the 35th Annual Mattar Relay, MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Fla., Nov. 20, 2015. U.S. Lt. Col. George Mattar, a Citadel alumni and former Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE) commander, was killed on Jan. 13, 1982, when his flight, Florida Airlines No. 90, crashed into the waters of the Potomac River. Aboard this flight were 74 passengers, of which only six survived. Also killed were Maj. Ralph Herman, JCSE's Chief of Operations, and Sergeant Major James Dixon. In commemoration, JCSE sponsors an annual 14-mile relay race for all military units, DOD employees and military affiliates in the Greater Tampa Bay area. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Tracy McKithern)

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
