Our own Rebel Heart is the keynote speaker

Eric in his many interviews has always held the Air Force Pararescuemen team in the highest regard.

If anyone is going to be near Englewood, Colorado Aug 25, this would be a good opportunity to meet and support the folks that put their lives at risk to save others.

Please be civil so that this post isn't closed. Who knows, you might find yourself in a situation where these good folks will come and save your bacon.

Back in the 60's when I was involved in a very similar activity we were all
"Volunteers".
Has that changed ?

The way it is. Your generosity goes to the heroes and your tax dollars go to the defense contractors.
