I came across this video over at Blackfive.net. It is described as the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Afghanistan performing a medevac mission of 3 “heroes” at night in the mountains. I encourage you to head over to http://www.blackfive.net/main/2008/05/memorial-day–1.html and check out the video and text that goes along with the video. Blackfive does a good job and explaining the risks and factors that go into a mission like this. I could do a cut and paste, but I don’t want to steal from a fellow milblogger without giving them the credit.

So take 4 minutes out of your day and watch the very powerful video below, showing selfless service and bravery my pilots and medics to extract and save some war-fighters.

We are proud to be releasing our first video here on VA Mortgage Center.com, geared towards explaining some of the benefits on the VA Home Loan Program. Mostly we just wanted to create something that was unique and might help raise awareness of the benefits afforded to Vets and Active-Duty military in purchasing or refinancing their home.

Here it is, in all its glory. We hope you enjoy it.
