I felt the same way when I read the book “Lone Survivor”. The Afghan village that harbored the lone survivor of the Seal Team, nursed him and refused to turn him over to the Taliban just made my heart swell.
The Taliban physically beat the kids because they refused to betray the American, but they displayed the marks of their beatings with grins and pride.
Just Wow.

“There were likely survivors since a UH 60 has a crew of 3.”
Actually in wartime they have a crew of 4 consisting of a
Pilot, Co-pilot, Crewchief/Gunner, and a Gunner.

“I have heard that a helicopter is no more than a loose collection of used parts flying in close formation.
At least that’s what the crews said about the choppers I rode in.”
Yeah no kidding..... Half a million parts made by the lowest bidder(s) that all need to work together for the thing to fly.

For Your Today, They Gave Their Tomorrow Just a reminder of what our Troops have given, so that we can continue to live the way that we wish here in the United States.
Please never forget the priceless gift our Troops have given us. Keep them in your hearts and prayers and always remember those who have given their all.
