Don't feel bad, it is not hard to feel inadequate around Bartlett, the guy is good. One of those up-and-coming young punks that made sure that no more Tomcat guys were going to get Blue Angel slots. A great guy with a great family. Russ will eventually get a Carrier and more before he is through.

I'm a little old for hero worship, I suppose, but Russ is a true American hero.

I know that the Armed Forces of this great country are filled with heroes. I am grateful for all of them, past and present. They are all in my prayers as well.

It pisses me off so much to see the venom of the left directed at the people that put it all on the line to keep us safe.
