Makes one proud....

In this Wednesday Aug. 19, 2009 photo, Spc. Paul Pickett, 22, of Minden La., right, of the U.S. Army's Apache Company, 2nd Battalion 87th Infantry Regiment, covers an injured U.S. soldier as a helicopter lands to evacuate the wounded after their armored vehicle hit an improvised explosive device in the Tangi Valley of Afghanistan's Wardak Province.

I got this picture from Boston.com's feature on advances in flight and aerospace technology. It stood out for me...the family of Paul Pickett should be proud to have him; and I'm just awed by their courage and bravery in the midst of all the chaos! Bravo Sir!
