  As an old guy who retired from the Army as a helicopter pilot in 1979 it warms my heart to see that while our Nation is changing more every day, our military stands fast.

  My Dad went to Vietnam twice. He never said much about it but I grew up believing he and all his pals were American war heroes. And I still do. He just passed a few years ago. May all the Vets RIP.

  I was a Major attached to a neurosurgical team as a CRNA in Balad, Iraq. I encountered PJ's on two occasions during my tour as they brought injured service members into our hospital. They were always humble and very professional. The work they did many times went unnoticed by those who were unaware of who they were. My quarters were very close to the airstrip. I always knew when I heard helicopters flying inbound that my pager was about to go off. To this day, I still cringe when I hear helicopters overhead.

  being humble is something that is worth more than words.

  An IR spotlight from a gunship at God only knows what altitude? That&apos;s insane!<br>I&apos;m so proud of all the US forces. Thank you to everyone who has served. My biggest regret in life is I didn&apos;t do a stint in the military. I&apos;m sure it would&apos;ve improved my life. And I can only hope that I would&apos;ve had half the bravery of the men in this mission.

  It was awesome to hear this side of the story. &nbsp;I&apos;ve seen the movie (Lone Survivor) &nbsp;and even read Marcus Luttrell&apos;s book of the same name but to hear &nbsp;about the bravery of these pilots and rescue crew members was &nbsp;amazing. &nbsp;God bless all my fellow brother and sister veterans.

  They did not talk about the terrible storms the days prior. It was actually a Green Beret not a Ranger that came out behind Luttrell. They did almost shoot him. Talk about nightmare. Most of the story they told this time was true. Missed a few things but loved it. I am really Happy Spankster was given some recognition on this one. Such a selfless individual, mission focused and full of empathy and compassion.
