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!

The Kneeboard
The Story Behind The Picture:
When flying missions, we are given packets with call signs, frequencies, etc. In an attempt to organize the information we print it out small enough to fit on our knee. So, in essence, we carry a little Trapper Keeper with us in the cockpit. I put a picture of us in my kneeboard to remind me of why I was over there and one day, while waiting to link up with some Blackhawks, I snapped a quick picture to send back to Beth to let her know that I am always thinking of her.
