Perhaps one will recognize Major Tammy Duckworth
Life for Maj. Tammy Duckworth, 36, and her husband, Illinois Army Guard Capt. Bryan Bowlsbey, has changed dramatically since the afternoon of Nov. 12. That is when a rocket propelled grenade hit the chin bubble of the Blackhawk she was piloting in Iraq and exploded between her legs, according to the on-line journal her husband is writing.
Her copilot, from the Missouri Army Guard, landed the crippled Blackhawk before other crewmembers, air ambulance personnel and doctors began working feverishly to save her life, Bowlsbey stated. The helicopter crew chief, Spc. Kurt Hannemann, from Illinois was apparently hurt but "was listed as not seriously injured" Guard officials reported.
SPEAKING OF HELICOPTERS, the outspoken Major Duckworth's activism is more than justified. (click on)
