On Veteran's day at the banquet, I happened to sit next to the father in this video.
The parents were there and they are both 25+ year veterans of the Air Force. This video is about their son. He was a Combat Controller. To be a Combat controller, one finishes the full Seal Training, Army Rangers training, full medical training to be an Air Force PJ, then has to be an Air Traffic Controller, and a communications expert. On every Seal mission or Ranger mission or Delta Force mission one Combat Control is there, he runs the communications with satellites and is the on site medic.
I had never heard of a Combat Control, and evidently there is only a small number of them since the training is so arduous. Their son is classified 100% disabled, and an amputee, even though he has he legs and feet. He can wiggle his toes, but has no feeling in his feet, and his ankles are now fused, and he says they are "angles". It was an honor to meet them.
