This column was prompted by a short video on military.com. The video focuses on a U.S. Army infantry veteran who now works for Sikorsky on the final assembly of the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter (The UH stands for utility helicopter). He talks about what those helicopters coming meant to the infantry soldiers he served with. (The video can be viewed at military.com/video/aircraft/helicopters/what-the-sound-of-black-hawk-%0dmeans/3708454603001/.)
