When I came to work for the Utility Helicopter Program Management Office (UH-60 or Black Hawk) I gained a whole new perspective on what it means to be a warfighter. My job was to put those men and women first and to be sure that I did nothing to harm them. I still take that part of my job very seriously.
I'm proud to work for that office to this day and proud to know the men and women who fly and maintain this superb machine.
On my way to the Pocket PC Summit, Mike Durant - the pilot who was held captive for 11 days - was on my flight. It was the second time I met him.
