Today I had the most fun I've ever had in my seven years with the Air Force. Earlier I was given the chance to accompany the marines in their V-22 osprey on a mission to deliver aid to those trapped high in the mountains far from the coast. As soon as we landed at any spot the response was overwhelming. I got more hugs, high fives, peace signs, thumbs up, and kisses from elderly ladies than I ever have before. The people were ecstatic to see us and we were happy to take pictures, talk, share a laugh, and empty the aircraft of supplies working together quickly. I can't really convey how moving it was. I was able to see the impact we're making. It's a long road ahead for the people of Puerto Rico but their attitudes seem defiant. From what I saw not even a hurricane as large as Maria was enough to crush the spirit of the people here. I feel privileged to be able to help.
