(Video) Three Heroes on Board

This seemed appropriate for Memorial Day.



The video is from an Apache helicopter performing over-watch for a medevac mission in the mountains of Afghanistan.

In the video, the term "hero" refers to a soldier who was killed in action.

The mother of one of the "heroes" in the video, would later post this:
We believe in fighting to keep all people safe and free to be themselves, because it is the right thing to do.

Some people don't think that we have to fight just yet, that we can wait and the crazies will go away and not harm our little tribe.

They are already harming our little tribe. All of humanity is our tribe.

We have to fight and die to protect people that don't believe in our perspective.

It has always been this way. It always will be this way, until the slaughter begins and people see their own personal lives in jeopardy.

...

We are in a righteous fight that we must win overwhelmingly.

Convince the enemy that they can't win and they will quit. The more people on the ground, the faster we win.
