Lives Of Service

Abraham Lincoln once said, "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years". My crew today is the epitamy of those words...here are three guys, not one of them younger than 54...doing thier part in support of the war effort and enjoying the moment.

Although I never mentioned it during the flight, I could not help but think how cool it was to be working with guys who had dedicated thier lives to the service of others. Collectively, their backgrounds range from a retired teacher/football coach, a supervisor with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and 30-year military officer who has flown combat missions in Vietnam, Desert Storm and now Operation Iraqi Frredom (OIF). You have to see it to believe it...and if you could, you would be inspired.
