The US has rescued the second downed airman in Iraq

What wonderful news. I haven't seen many details yet. The Colonel is a weapons systems officer who was injured after his F-15 Strike Eagle jet was hit by Iranian forces. He was hiding in a mountain ridge. Navy Seal Team 6 was involved in the rescue as well as the CIA. The US apparently used an abandoned airport as the base for their operations. Details are minimal at this time but Trump will make a statement later tonight. I definitely will be watching!
