The Price of Freedom
I am a Battle Captain for an Attack Helicopter Battalion in the First Cavalry Division, currently deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I am an AH-64D Longbow Apache helicopter pilot and a veteran of OIF II. I have a very amazing son, David, who I miss very much and think about every day. I plan on getting out of the military as soon as I am able to go work for my dad in Florida. I hope to start a nice little business of my own someday!

Brothers in Arms
Writing on bombs and missiles is as old as the ordnance itself. Cougar is a ground unit we worked with often. They were in every strategic level fight during OIF II as were the Reapers and we became really good at working with each other. We fought together in The Battle for An Najaf and The Battle for Fallujah. One soldier wanted to re-enlist in the front seat of an Apache so I brought his platoon out to the aircraft and let them tag the Hellfires. We later shot this missile at a VBIED in the North Babil province.
