Pretty darned amazing, isn't it. Those few sacred moments made all the heat, and stink, and boredom, worth it. It reminds me that the friends we left behind on the ground and waters around the world were there and were left for a worthwhile cause. I have a line printed on my checks that says, "Every freedom you have was paid for with lives." God bless 'em all, and particularly the families of one's that will never again share that moment, so we could.
