2003 Rugby World Cup - MATT DAWSON

Ep. 88

In 1998 England half back Matt Dawson went on tour to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as the captain of the national side.

 

Labelled the "Tour From Hell," thrashed in every test, lessons were learned and 5 years later they would return as the number one rugby team on the planet and become World Champions.

 

This is the story of how they rebuilt from the ashes to lift the William Webb Ellis trophy.

  • 95. DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS

    58:19||Ep. 95
    KC Campbell's Distinguished Flying Cross w/Valor Citation reads:Captain Kim N. Campbell distinguished herself by heroism while participating in aerial flight as an A/OA-10 fighter pilot, 75th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, 332d Expeditionary Operations Group, 332d Air Expeditionary Wing at Ahmed Al Jabar Air Base, Kuwait on 7 April 2003. On that date, at North Baghdad Bridge, Iraq, flying as Yard 06, Captain Campbell's professional skill and airmanship directly contributed to the successful close air support of ground forces from the 3d Infantry Division and recovery of an A-10 with heavy battle damage. While ingressing her original target area, Captain Campbell was diverted to a troops-in-contact situation where enemy forces had positioned themselves within 400 meters of the advancing friendly forces and were successfully preventing the lead elements of the 3d Infantry Division from crossing the North Baghdad Bridge. Unable to eliminate the enemy without severe losses, the ground forward air controller had requested immediate close air support. After a quick situation update and target area study, Captain Campbell expertly employed 2.75 inch high explosive rockets on the enemy position that had been threatening the advancing forces, scoring a direct hit and silencing the opposition. During her recovery from the weapons delivery pass, a surface-to-air missile impacted the tail of Captain Campbell's aircraft. Immediately taking corrective action, she isolated the hydraulic systems and placed the A-10 into the manual reversion flight control mode of flight and prepared for the long and tenuous return flight to Kuwait. Captain Campbell's aviation prowess and coolness under pressure directly contributed to the successful completion of the critical mission and recovery of a valuable combat aircraft. The outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Captain Campbell reflect great credit upon herself and the United States Air Force.--Thank you to this week's sponsor AG1.
