Amazing. Above and beyond… My other thoughts are… I would never want my daughter to be in a combat zone. My boys? Not the same.

I am looking for Adam Kilian. If it is the same killian that I went to all boys trouble kids school with and then later met up with in RIP back in 2000. been looking for him for years.
My uncle was an Army ranger and he was a part of this rescue mission and I would like to know if you remember him.
I went to high school with Spc.Lori Piestewa. I was at Desert Storm/Shield. After the rescue and Lori was brought home. So did I after being gone for 20+ years to the reservation.
I attended all the services and even meet Pvt Lynch. In some way Lori brought me home as well.
