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!

Chuck and Shane
Last Easter Suday, April 11th 2004, two Apache pilots gave their lives in combat to save their brothers on the ground who were moving fuel from Baghdad to Fallujah. CW3 Wesley "Chuck" Fortenberry and CW2 Shane Colton left behind families and friends and made the ultimate sacrifice to lay down their lives for others. They are the true heroes of the war and my own words can't express the depth of their deeds and sacrifices. Click here for more pictures and information. Please remember their families this Easter holiday.
