Gen. Tommy Franks, the U.S. war commander, confirmed that a helicopter did not return from its mission Sunday and that its two-man crew was missing: Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr., 26, of Lithia Springs, Ga., and Chief Warrant Officer David S. Williams, 30, of Orlando, Fla.
What goes through your head when a person who can kill you at any moment stands over you? These guys were downed, captured and paraded in front of TV cameras in one day. I live in the same town as David Williams. We have probably watched movies in the same theatres, walked in the same parks, and ate in the same restaurants. The sacrifice is not theoretical. These guys are heroes.
