I’m sure most of you have already heard it on the news – a major incident here in which a CH-47 Chinook helicopter went down killing the five aircrew members. We’re struck by the tragedy and start to mobilize just in case there is a need for a combat rescue. But the news is grim and the recovery crew confirms that no one onboard survived the crash. I was amazed at how quickly CNN picked up this incident – just a few minutes after us – and we’re here in Afghanistan. Although I do not personally know the soldiers, I know that there are now five grieving families back home in the states. When we forget how dangerous our situation is, an event like this brings it all back to focus.
