 Colonel Hackworth was one of America's most decorated soldiers and an awesome warrior. He was also a columnist seen in Newsweek. After retirement he devoted much of his time to projects designed to help make the lives of service members easier by helping them to get what they needed to fight and helping them to get the benefits they deserved after their service. For anyone who has ever been in the military, I recommend a visit to his web site. Even if you haven't been in the military, it is well worthwhile visiting.

 This is the site of my brother, Gary Bain, a former marine fighter pilot. His web site is designed to appeal to explorers, survivors, video enthusiasts, outdoorsmen and women and anyone who is the least bit adventurous. He welcomes correspondence from like minded individuals. He is currently involved in preparing a presentation to major television and movie executives for a series documenting the rescue of downed flyers in enemy territory, a subject he is thoroughly familiar with from his harrowing rescues in Vietnam. The idea for the series came from a recent reunion of many of the men who were involved in his rescue after his F-4 Phantom was downed in one of the very hottest and inimitable areas of Laos/Vietnam. I went to the reunion and met many of these men. They are a special breed and deserve far more recognition than they’ve gotten in the past. If you’ve had experiences of a similar nature or would like to read about his rescue and that of others, you won’t find a better place on the web than Gary Bain’s web site.
