In my 25 years in the military , I feel like I have been overpaid for the service to my country. There will never be enough paper to print the money nor enough gold in Fort Knox for me to have to keep from doing what I did.
I’m proud to be an American and even prouder that I earned the privilege to wear the Green Beret.
I live by the motto of Duty, Honor, Country
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much thank you God bless you and God bless America.

I watched that video, and then another one where it said he jumped 30 to 50 feet to the ground from the chopper. I was thinking he jumped 3 to 5 feet! (Hmm - maybe the 30 to 50 foot quote from the video by the narrarator was wrong!).
I did just see on Wiki that when he left the chopper he was only armed with a knife! And carrying a medic bag.
Amen, Bro!
You said what I feel.
It’s kind of sad that most people don’t know the feeling of life in dedicated service and how personally enriching it can be.
In other words, so many good times. I was only Air Force, and can’t say I experienced combat, but was ready nevertheless.
