Sadly, I'm not sure it will make it 10 years. NYC and many have already forgotten the events of 9/11 and the sacrifice of our brave.

The guy on the white horse is actually an Air Force Combat Controller named Bart Decker. The CCT guys never get mentioned, but in all three detachments that rode horses, there were Air Force special operators on attached to each unit providing close air support.

ODA 555 had a guy named Calvin Markham. He was my instructor at Combat Control School in 2002 after he got back from Afghanistan.

I’m at the age where people in their 20s are kids - not children but if your my kids’ ages your a kid.


Do you actually know the person I’m talking about?

CCT guys are IMO maybe the most well rounded warriors in our military. You are a bad man, no doubt.

Too many zeros. If it lasts 10 more I'll be shocked.
