As a foot soldier in a tough situation this is no better sound than that of a gun ship coming in to help you get out of your tough situation. As a leader there is no better sight than to see a dust off ship coming in to help get your wounded out of harms way. I know we have at least one on here that flew and may have at one time or another did the unthinkable and came in to a hot LZ to help us poor dumb slobs. Thank you.

I think I may have mentioned it before that my son flew an Apache Longbow in Iraq. That is a gunship the hadjis did not want to tangle with.
Our own coyote101 was a Army helicopter pilot also I believe.
I know I have said it before,but I don't think we can say it enough THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE SERVED, A GRATEFUL AMERICAN
God bless everyone who has served our country. I salute you all !!!
My wife and I went up to Louisville on Friday night for the George Strait concert. They had a special program where a retired general introduced a young soldier, his wife, and child. He had lost a leg, and they presented them with a new home, food for a year, and a big screen t.v.. It was a touching ceremony.
george straits a country icon!
Yeah, he sure is. He had Vince Gill and his band open for him and he was outstanding too.
