Well since you're being dramatic...(teehee)... just keep in mind that their mission is absolutely vital. Think of how happy they make you flying overhead and know that they'll mean that much more to the soldiers on the ground in theater. They support the soldiers on the ground and the soldiers on the ground need all the help they can get.
Heh!! I know it...I'm just tired and shook-up and probably oughta get something in my stomach (like a half a bottle of cholesterol medicine).
I've never looked at the sky the same since 9/11...and they're part of the reason why. The sky was just so...empty...until they flew over.
The are the 1st Battalion, 108th Aviation Co B, based here in Tulsa...UH-60 Black Hawks.
In case I never mentioned it. Apparently they consist of "29 personnel" as far as I can tell online.
