It's about time!!!!!! Captain Albert

I know Sal and I am also a 173rd Airborne Brigade Veteran. While I am proud for him, my brigade and the Airborne Community... I also know that during that time many men lost there lives ( I mention specifically SSG Larry Rougle) ... and I am hoping that Sal is a precedent for more to come..

If you haven't seen the movie "Restrepo" take a look I was at the VIP Showing at Nat Geo ( 28 June 2010), met Sebastian Junger again I first met him in 2005. It is apolitical and I think if you want to see what it is like over there in RC East ( I have served in RC East and South)
