The USS Missouri alongside. She radiated a sense of power that was so palpable that it was almost physical.

Out of several dozen photos, this is number one. The other is number two.
I picked up this puppy out of a village we had just had an air assault in.

The picture of the dog and the handler wax taken while we waited to go on an air assault.

This shot of our Minotaur IV on liftoff. 2+ years of design, testing, and mission planning for a few seconds of a thrill. It was well worth it!

SFC Josh Billingsley -
I once heard that only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys ???
Are you really supposed to sit on high explosives with parts made by lowest bidder?
Somehow - this kind reminds me of Slim Pickens riding the bomb in Dr Strangelove.
Warmest Regards, Sandy

Myself with an Iraq woman Azhar whose life I helped save and her mother- a kerosene heater exploded on her. We were at a very small FOB and her family would drive her to us every day so we could debride her skin and treat her - the photo is after several months of myself and only a few other female medics taking care of her. I went in 3 hours early every day to help - she was so sick and close to death when we got her. With all the horrible burns and what we had to put her through every day I only saw her cry once.
