War On Terror

News from the war on terrorism that is related to Pararescue, Air Rescue,
and Air Force Special Operations

To read the latest news, click on the above links for Iraqi Freedom or Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). The information on these pages primarily comes from open sources on the internet. Some information comes from PJs and air rescue or special operations aircrews in the theaters of operations. Because of operational security concerns that directly relate to the safety of our troops, some information is intentionally not published until our warriors have departed the theater of operations. The names of individuals submitting information are not posted unless they personally authorize it.

If you have information, you would like posted on this site, email it to me. Probably the best sources of information are those of you who know that you have accurate unclassified information. As stated above, confidentiality is guaranteed. Easy things you can do include emailing me:
    1. Base newspaper articles that talk about current PJ war activities
    2. Handouts at memorial services
    3. Copies of citations awarded to PJs

CCT information is also requested. Many PJs are now assigned to Special Tactics Squadrons (STS). In an STS, PJs and CCT are equal partners in the special operations team. They do rescue missions and they do a lot of other types of special operations. CCT are part of our team, and their history and ours are inextricably intertwined in this war. So, I will publish all credibly know facts about both PJs and CCT.

My Red White & Blue - An unabashed patriotic video about America's response to terrorism. The liberal press has bashed the song the video is playing with because it is "not politically correct". Stating that we are going to "kick our enemies in the ass" is apparently a NO NO. I guess killing them must be out of the question. This video requires REAL or Windows Media player. Unless you are on a high speed connection, this will take a very long time to download.

Saudi Arabia - Friend or Foe As we fight the war on terrorism it is important to know who are our allies and who are our enemies.
