Congrats to the 1st Cav! (if you can't be part of the 82nd, 1st Cav is the next best thing!).

Thanks for posting this. I have been sending homemade jerky to a soldier in 1-25 AVN REGT and haven't heard from him all month. Very unusual for him. A friend of his just emailed me last week from Iraq and said that my soldier was gone for awhile. Now I am VERY worried. I haven't heard back from his friend either. I have a big box of jerky and goodies ready to go out. Oh dear.. I must go investigate....

I looked back at JT (Taylor) and told him, if he started taking fire, get this bird out of here, leave me and we’ll collect all of us later.”

Man, the bond these guys have...This choked me up. Totally selfless in times of crisis.
