Many of my good friends and my son have been busy in Iraq. Hopefully they get home early and you may have a chance to meet some of them. They love their jobs and do it well. I'm very proud of my son and all of the soldiers who have proven themselves as the "next great generation". The video is my son flying his "Black Hawk" in Iraq.  He earned his helicopter license at 17 and was flying combat missions at 19. He is now finally 21 and drinking age after 1000+ hours of combat time. It was great to sit with him and have a beer; he really earned it!
