If you have any way of listening to WOAI radio (based in San Antonio, Texas) during the day or drive time on the way home, tune in to 1200 AM radio today and for the next several days. They have radio broadcasters traveling aboard the C-5 and C-17 aircraft the US military has mobilized to transport relief supplies to tsunami survivors. They’re doing great interviews with military personnel of all ranks and it’s really humbling, informative and just “good news". You can hear the pride in the service people’s voices, and relief at a "break" from combat duty for those who were moments away from heading out to Iraq and instead found themselves the best choice for military commanders to divert to Sumatra, Sri Lanka, Thailand, etc. It's hard work, but at least they know the people they're going to help are unlikely to become suicide bombers and snipers.
So, tune in… or read the
WOAI news blog or watch San Antonio News 4.
Also, I highly recommend the
IMAX film “Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag” – excellent in air cinematography but also a wonderful look at military life, military standards and camaraderie. It's currently showing at the Rivercenter Mall in San Antonio and I'm sure it's showing at all other IMAX theatres nationwide.
Celebrate and honor our military. They are true Americans.
