Local Soldiers Deployed to Afghanistan

Brevard Reservists say goodbye, head to Afghanistan

They are the hard working men of the US Air Force who put themselves in harms way daily to save the lives of soldiers on the ground who are wounded in combat through their MEDEVAC operations. This is a shout out to these men and their vital contribution to the war on terror, in their efforts to keep our ground troops alive. The group that they are replacing will be flying into Orlando this week, so if you are at the airport give them a solid round of applause.

As a side note, the news media gives a lot of recognition to our elite military teams such as Marine Recon, Navy Seals, and Army Rangers, but let’s not forget that our Air Force has Spec Ops teams as well. To learn more about them, watch the video.

And here is my favorite Sarge discussing the Air Force PJ’s.
