More Help
Despite this already challenging mission nearing completion, Patrick was further required to help in another location which was entirely covered by thick fog. At this point, ally casualties were only 50m away from enemy forces. Previous attempts earlier in that day from colleagues had failed, and it was up to Patrick to help relieve the pressure on the situation. The task was not easy, but with the skills and ability that Patrick possessed, anything was possible.
Plan of Action
A man with a plan, and a bucket load of courage and determination, Patrick made four consecutive flights to this dangerous landing zone and was successful in recovering all wounded soldiers. Something failed by two others earlier in the day, Patrick’s heroism surely saved the lives of many. It must be considered an incredible feat that despite the many obstacles in his way; obstacles that prevented others from doing the same job, he was still able to successfully complete the mission. Amazing.
