Remembering and Honoring
Navy Capt. Michael "Scott" Speicher
of Jacksonville, Fla.; "We will be bringing him home."
The first American lost in the Persian Gulf War, when his FA-18 Hornet fighter jet was shot down over the Iraq desert on the first night of the 1991 war, over west-central Iraq on Jan. 17, 1991.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Captain Speicher's family for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country."
We are extremely grateful to all those who have worked so tirelessly over the last 18 years to bring Captain Speicher home.
We must never forget
that freedom is not free!
