One aspect of military service that “progressives”will never understand — the sacrifices our military makes and our pride in the nation we represent. We’re proud to be American.
One of my most cherished career moments occurred after we’d been deployed for months flying in the Bosnian War. We operated every day, rain or shine, and endured being shot at routinely. We were bringing the squadron home, all 220 of us, tired and needing to depressurize a bit. I had promised all of the families that everyone would make it back, and we had.
After our Atlantic Ocean crossing, I received a radio call from New York Center, “Reach 15, radar contact. Welcome home.”
I was still 4 hours from landing at my base, Travis AFB, California, but I felt it. We were home. 🇺🇸
