18 years as a Medic, 10 of those on a helicopter. 12 years as a nurse, 7 of those on a helicopter. 22 days on a rubble pile with a US&R Team. Still see the faces and hear their voices nearly every day. I've learned to live with the demons in my mind instead of fighting with them. They sure as hell ain't going anywhere. I've got a wonderful wife, two amazing boys, and 3 or 4 buddies that would hide a body for me so my alibi can be on video somewhere, so I truly love my life. I hope someone, somewhere has a good memory the ugly bald guy who helped them or their family member.
