This is the conclusion of our conversation with Tom Flaherty about his time as an Army Ranger, military instructor and special operations helicopter pilot. We pick up as Tom recounts his part in the famous military operation that rescued young solider Jessica Lynch from an Iraqi hospital after she was taken prisoner of war as well as the subsequent retrieval of the remains of the American National Guard soldiers from her unit that were killed in Iraq so that no soldiers were left behind. Tom also fills us in on what led to his transition to instructor, then helicopter pilot and what was in store for him once he retired and came home to Iowa. Vulnerable, funny, and incredibly eye opening.
