Thanks for your service Mike and specially for helping the people of P.R. my homeland during this time of need.

The island is going thru some hard times and the recovery will be very long and challenging.

Hope you have a great time with your family and specially driving your vette again !!!

i love doing what i do that is for sure. this was a different mission, usually its about taking out the bad guys, this time it was helping the good guys.

i cant wait to get back in the vette, to bad it is starting to really get cold here. maybe i will get a day or 2 before 1st snow to get her out and try the new shifter. plan to do that this weekend.

Reunion well deserved.

It was on the USNS Comfort. I am part of the Helicopter Squadron that went down there with the ship. it was a great experience. was actually able to help people, nice change for once.

and thanks everyone for the kind words, i am honored to be able to serve this great country. i am just really glad that i only have 4 1/2 years left till retirement!
