Congratulations Jake, on an honor that I am sure is well earned. They don't just give those away for showing up. I hope we get to hear your story some day.

I saw some videos of what those guys do. You couldn't pay me enough and I'm sure none of our combat soldiers are. After all, what kind of price can you put on the life of a hero?

His offical branch is Air Force but the work is all "GRUNT".

I try to stop and thank every soldier I see, past and present, for their service because "FREEDOM AIN"T FREE".
