Photographers Narrative

 

This photo was taken during a mission with pararescuemen in Afghanistan. These guys literally save lives, when things go bad PJ's will come and save the day. I have great respect for PJ's and the amazing things they do. To go head first into some of the most dangerous situations and places with such precision is amazing. Their motto is "so others may live" and they stand by that!
