Tuesday his battalion was given a great deployment ceremony. A very patriotic and moving experience. Thursday morning the event was much more subdued. A simple formation, the unit commander spoke, then the last few minutes with the families then out to their aircraft.
We stood and watched as they started the big engines and then the rotor blades, and then moved into flight formation and then they took off. I am still awed by the sound of the engines and the skill that it takes to lift that UH-60 Blackhawk into the air, rotate it then move forward to a specific spot and then all lift off at the same time and move forward to their destination.
Here is a snippet of the sights and sounds of the morning.
