Default Pardo's Push

Great story.

If you’ve never heard of ‘Pardo’s Push’……..you need to see this. If you have seen this before, it’s worth watching again. Maybe some of you knew these folks. In any case, this is exemplary thinking, action, selflessness, and guts in the face of combat.

Very, very cool true story. Sound up.

Great story. Once upon a time we went to great lengths to keep people from being left behind.

The Obama Administration would probably have him court marshaled.

Didn't know that. An inspiring story about a guy that wouldn't give up.

And I agree with the good Doctor.

Thanks for posting.
