What I would give to be a fly on the wall during some of those flights.

Is that the same as the godawful 'zero defects' policy that crippled the military in the 80s?

So much political bickering and negative reporting.

How nice to read an uplifting story.

Thank you.

I did advance team work for AF-1 when Col Tillman was the Presidential Pilot. He was the best boss I ever worked for. Nothing EVER ruffled his feathers. He was a genuinely nice guy and a very effective leader.

Thank you. Wonderful speaker, I would have liked to hear him talk for another hour. God bless you, Col. Tillman, for protecting our President.

” He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in 2004 and promoted to Brigadier General by the President of the United States—the first military line officer to receive this honor (not confirmed by the Senate Armed Services Committee).”

I had forgotten that he was not confirmed by the Senate (made me angry at the time, though). I wonder if he could now be confirmed?

In the near future we will probably hear of the courageous people that jumped in the line of falling coconuts to save Obama. (yes its sarcasm)

Hearing stories like this and seeing the bravado is heart warming to say the least, my stepdaughter wants to enlist in the Air Force and my son will be heading to one of the branches in a couple of years.

People can say what they want about Bush but he wore the uniform, loves the troops and his country.

If I were a high school teacher I would show this to my classroom.
