This is an amazing depiction of a hot LZ during the Vietnam War. Are these your creations? MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.

SPC Jeff Daley, PhD - Goodness no! I'm a historian, not an artist. I go around the web and grab good images to share with stories. . . .

“Don’t ask someone to do what you won’t do,” Crandall once said of his time in Vietnam. “You lead from the front.”

Another concept to push is asking what will happen if you do not take action. I have been in some gnarly situations in fire and ems and what drives me is not leadership or being a hero but what would be the outcome if dont take action. I have been in some situations where had I not acted there would have been a bad outcome for someone else.
