I think so too. I am a soon to be retired Helicopter Pilot (army and NG) and have worked with them. I was watching the news all day waiting for them to get that Captain back. I was worried under the current administration we would be too passive.....guess not and I guess we really made a point!!! Stay off of our ships.

I was thinking the same thing. Happy to hear the Captain was unharmed and is returning to home to his family. It was most certainly a joyous Easter for them after all.

If anyone is looking for a good book to read, pick up "Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10".

I'm about a third of the way through it and it is very well written. There is a lot of background on the training they go through. I haven't even gotten to the event in Afghanistan yet. I can't even begin to fathom the training they go through.

Thank you to all who serve. And that seems so minor for the sacrifices they make but thank you.

I was just watching the news and was so glad to hear the Capt. is doing well. I know his family is relieved. I think we were all surprised when the go ahead was given to use any means necessary.

Thanks for the tip on a good book. I love to read true stories of our armed forces in action. Unfortunately, I still can't seem to bring myself to read, or watch movies about losing our soldiers. Don't know why, just not yet ready. Always look at Black Hawk Down at the library, book and DVD...still can't bring myself to check it out. Maybe, in time, I will be able to do so. In the meantime, I read on about successful missions and such.

I have a couple of good reads to tell as well. In the Company of Soldiers is a really good book. Faith of My Fathers, by John McCain, and on a lighter note, yet very inspiring is Walt Disney, Triumph of the American Imagination, by Neal Gabler. This is quite possible one of my favorite books ever.

Happy reading.

Ditto on the Navy. That's what my mom always told my dad.....she was very proud to serve as a Wave and Dad was a MP or as Mom called him, a dog face.

Thanks to all that serve our country!!!!!!

I agree here.

BUT they did an awesome job rescuing the Capt.

SEALs are pretty incredible. I had the great good fortune to serve aboard ship with some SEALs on my last ship. I met a SEAL chief who had to leave the cruise early to go home for the commissioning of the ship named after his brother, The USS Robert Stethem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Stethem_(DDG-63)).

BTW - the SEAL who wrote the book mentioned in the earlier posts was involved in the news recently. Some dirtbags in Texas killed his dog Daisy and he followed them in his truck while talking to the 911 operator until the police could apprehend them. Daisy was given to him as a present to help him with his post-traumatic stress issues. The name Daisy is comprised of the initials of the men in SEAL Team 10 he was serving with when they were killed in Afghanistan.

Amen to that and thanks to all who have served.

As a kid of 15 when I thought I knew everything I had a chance to be in a mideast country for a few months in 1980. We would hang out at a pool at a local private American School and there were usually a couple of young marines there (not much older than I was). They were typical, happy go lucky guys.

Then came the day that I saw an officer approach and they all got real serious after a quick discussion and they looked like they were about to go somewhere to kick but and take names. I never found out where they went, but it really hit home watching them getting ready to serve. Never saw them again that summer.
