This Is What The Uncommon Valor Worthy Of A Medal Of Honor Looks Like
· There is nothing that this author can add to the power of this video. This is the first time in the history of the Medal of Honor, since the Civil War, that the actual actions undertaken by the recipient of that award have been caught for all to see on video tape.This even took place on March 4 2002 in Afghanistan. You will see what MSgt John Chapman did that day in an attempt to recover the body of a Seal killed by the Taliban and what he also did to save his own Seal team.This video was captured by a CIA Predator drone and is narrated moment by moment. These moments occurred on the steep slopes of a mountain. The snow is deep and the enemy has the advantage of terrain.But Chapman begins to take the offensive immediately.Source: YouTibe/Dan Schilling BooksMSgt John Chapman faced withering fire head on, and cleared the way for an entire rescue team.These are the last moments of a true hero, a real man for others, who gives his all to save the lives of his own team. Though wounded a dozen times, and though he experienced a moment of time when he could not fight, he recovers and though dying, pours heavy fire on the enemy in the effort to save the lives of the 18 man quick-reaction force that came out to aid the Seal team.Source: Wikimedia CommonsChapman enlisted in the United States Air Force on September 27, 1985.The video is grainy and from a great height, but it is clear what Chapman does over that period of time.Source: Wikimedia CommonsMSgt Chapman died while escorting a rescue team through an al-Qaeda terrorist stronghold on Takur Ghar Mountain.There is no greater love that to sacrifice one’s own life for others. This video shows the courage MSgt John Chapman exhibited on that day, and the great cost he paid for those he knew in his team and for those of the 18 man quick-reaction force whom he did not know.Proper greatergood_ctg_abovevideo

WATCH SpaceX Launch Today, June 12, Live Online
· SpaceX SpaceX is set to launch its RADARSAT Constellation Mission today, on June 12 out of Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The mission will send three Canadian satellites into orbit, where they will remain about 400 miles up in order to observe Canadian land and waters. Scientists say they are hoping to collect data on sea ice both in the Great Lakes and in nearby oceans. The information is expected to be invaluable for both scientists studying climate change and for mariners who need to navigate through Arctic waters. The data is also expected to be useful for tracking marine populations and for assisting in rescue operations.
Today’s launch is set for 10:17 Eastern Time. You can watch it live right here; the broadcast will start about 15 minutes before takeoff. The launch window opens at 10:17 ET and closes at 10:30 ET. A backup launch window opens tomorrow on Thursday, June 13 at 10:17 ET and closes at 10:30 Eastern Time.
There were some signs that the launch might not take place today, June 12. Meterologists warned that there were going to be periods of intense fog during the launch window. They also said that wind gusts of up to 20 miles an hour were possible.
The satellites are expected to deploy approximately 54 minutes after the rocket launch. Following the separation, SpaceX says it will try to land the rocket on a landing pad, right next to the launch site. That should be worth watching, since it’s a relatively new endeavor for SpaceX. If the attempt succeeds, it will be only the second time that SpaceX has landed a rocket in California. The rocket launch — if successful — could create spectacular sights and sounds for people in Southern California. Base officials have said that the launch could create one or more sonic booms that will be heard in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. The launch window opens this morning at 10:17AM, Eastern Time. It closes at 10:30 Eastern Time. If conditions are not right for a launch, a new window will open tomorrow, Thursday, June 13 at 10:30.
The three satellites being sent into space today were built by MDA, a Maxar company. They will provide daily data on Canada’s territory and its waters, surveying the Arctic up to four times a day. The data will be used to create highly detailed sea ice maps of Canada’s oceans and of the Great Lakes; the maps are expected to help maritime navigation. The satellite data is also expected to help in disaster recovery efforts by providing precise information about the location of natural disasters.
