I was just very shocked.

I knew the longer I was delayed, the worse my chances were of seeing him.

It's been a very emotional afternoon. From coming home, to seeing everyone, to getting engaged all in one afternoon.

I couldn't be any more proud of the way my men have performed. Terrorists are not welcome in Iraq. If they want to test us, they will end up in jail like the man we captured this night.

Every time we catch an intended target, the confidence increases in my men.

It was good to actually plan an entire mission without the help of others. Although the Cobras are our brothers, my men needed to do something like this to prove to everyone that we are capable of defending our region.
