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!

Howdy


Here he is saying hello to all his distant grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. He loves his bouncy chair so much.

The Chair


David fell asleep in his swing the other day. It looked like his head was so heavy he had to hold it up with his hand. It's hard work being a baby!
