Way cool. Thanks for your excellent service to this country.

I read "Return with Honor" as well. Highly recommended reading. I was amazed that he did so well even when he failed to bring his BOB (don't know what the AF calls their survival bag) but that had water and lots of survival goodies in it. At least he had his radio and beacon transmitter.

He was spotted by many bad guys as he was parachuting down! Worst case scenario, in anyone's book! I found it interesting that he went motionless very quickly after hitting the treeline. The searchers went past him, thinking he would continue running. He moved at night, slept during the day, classic E&E. Fantastic story. I can't imagine staying calm during that type of stress.
