Dave I am sorry for your loss and that of the families of our fallen heroes. We don't really understand "and some gave all" until it affects us directly or someone we know. I hope you are doing O.K. My thoughts are with you and their families.

My heart felt sympathy Dave.

Dave said...

Thanks everyone. This really hits close to home after spending close to five thousand hours flying on CG C130s. I flew many hours on the same plane that crashed. Those were some great people. I remember their faces in life and can only imagine what their last seconds must have been like.. for the Marine pilots as well. Life is so precious and can end at any moment.
