I'm with you on that one OBG.

I watched the CG rescuing folks from their attics after Katrina and it brought (still does at times) tears to my eyes knowing they came in from all over the US, and often went into situations that they really hadn't trained for (pulling people out two story windows, etc).

And they just went and did it. No asking for permission, no mission planning, nothing but goin' out and gettin' the job done...
