Default I knew some heroes

A special thanks to my friends with the 3rd Marine Division at Dong Ha, the MACV unit in Hue, and the air crews in slicks, LOHs, and cobras from the 101st Airborne Division at Camp Eagle. Along with the CH-53 crew who extracted me alone one time. They were my heroes and some of them lost their lives covering my flank, never realizing they had saved me.

Thanks for your service and for everyone else that is a veteran or has a family member or friend that's a veteran. Important to step back and realize that without these men and women, none of what we have would be possible.

My personal hero. Dad on the right. 1st Ranger Battalion Italy 1943.

My heartfelt gratitude to all who have served.

Without them our freedom would be lost.

Thank you for your service and for those past and present who have served. My father, WWII Vet who I miss each and every day. Bronze Star, Purple Heart and was one of the few from his company that made it home.

I deployed in 2012 with the best men I’ve ever known. Some didn’t return. They won’t be forgotten.
