Congrats to your son and his family.

Those guys -- Dustoff they called 'em in Korea -- saved me twice when I was stationed there in '79 and '94. On my last "ride" I asked one of the medics for his unit patch -- it's in a position of honor in my shadow box. Without those folks I wouldn't be here to write this.

Service to country and community, a twofer.

I especially like the picture of him stretched out in the back of the UH-60. Cool, calm and collected. Congrats to him on his pending retirement. My son goes on terminal leave this coming January. He took a little hiatus with FedEx because his wife was tired of him going to the sand box over and over again, but the AF called him back.

You have every right to be extremely proud of your son. Good job Dad.

Still called Dustoff, there's a really decent documentary called "When I have your wounded" that goes through the history of Dustoff. It's on YouTube and dvd available online.

This is his patch from his first medevac unit

Thanks to your son for his service. I am seeing fewer and fewer folks willing to sacrifice for their country. May he have a long productive "retirement".

Your pride is well deserved.

He comes from a good background.

God Bless him, and thanks. You can sleep easy now. I wonder if he might have crossed paths with my son during my son's stint as a gunner on a Chinook in Iraq a few years ago.

Thank the Good Lord that we have young men and women willing to serve and make a career of our armed forces!

You have every reason to be proud...
