“He just said, ‘don’t watch the news, mom, don’t watch the news. I’ll tell you what you need to know. Well, that’s easier said than done.”
The escape from Afghanistan is one of the most tough and demanding missions in the history of America combat soldiers. Thanks Austin you have made us all proud…Be safe and God Bless You!
