Being back on American soil and coming home have been a positive emotional experience Osborn said as he thanked God that he and his 23 crew members were able to come home. Osborn touched on training and teamwork during a brief statement at the end of the ceremony. It took the teamwork of his family, friends and many others to get him where he is today. To get where I did in life, I had a lot of people helping me out. It is not a one-man show.
Training is something they do lots of in the military.
That training allowed him to survive the emergency landing because if he didn't have the knowledge from the training, no amount of effort would have made the difference. Although Osborn may be surprised at the power of the governor to make such a promotion, he can. He and others serving to protect America's freedoms became heroes when they made the decision to serve their country. Dr. Dennis Larson, mayor of Norfolk, defined a hero as someone who does something extraordinary in the course of danger. Although it is perceived that we are in a time of peace, men and women in the military are putting their lives on the line to protect our freedom.
