Surprise Squad: 'Blessed' Air Force commander gets surprise of a lifetime

Col. Scot Heathman is described as compassionate, personable, and filled with positivity by his comrades in the 375th Air Mobility Wing at Scott Air Force Base. He's had a military career full of successes, but not without adversity.

Anyone commenting negatively has not been in the U.S. military. Patriots understand the sacrifices, while civilians take them for granted!
