One of the most decorated groups of men in wartime history is still at it in Iraq. Members of theTiger Force, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). What's more, the original members of the Tiger Soldiers, Vietnam Era fighters are hard at supporting these warriors.
I mention this for the impact it has had on me, singularly selfish on my part. Perhaps you'll get something from it. The current force does "...everything with the past in mind...". They honor those that went before them in training doctrine, execution, evaluation and in supporting those that come after them.
They are hand picked, specifically trained air assault steely-eyed missile men. Above the rest. For my experience in working with other screamin' eagles as an attached FO, these gents are tops and I tip mine to theirs. They are legendary. They keep me safe and they let me know it by being there without being there.
Be safe. Pick up your ruck and follow me.
Life is Brilliant!
