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!

Tony Blair
The Story Behind The Picture:
During the Winter Holidays, British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited his troops in Iraq to thank them and let them know he was proud of them. The British liaison requested security from an Apache element and our team was called on for the mission. We really didn't get to talk to the man, but he did shake our hands and thank us for the support. And give us a photo op, which is more than I can say for any high-profile individual we escorted across Iraq.
