If for a split moment you doubt that he actually did that, then you will feast your eyes on an actual photo of the names clearly printed on the warheads of those rockets, ye of little faith! I think the most photos I have ever seen in a memoir was between 10 and 20вЂ¦ who on Earth provides 79 color photos? Mr. Greg might mention writing brothersвЂ™ names on the Hydra rockets of his Helo. I firmly believe that one of the most powerful features of the book are the nearly 79 photos that Greg provides. I found myself pushing back from my computer countless times to just reflect and shake my head.

GregвЂ™s book will run you through the full gamut of your emotional range youвЂ™ll laugh, cry, punch a hole in a wall, catch yourself several times with your mouth hanging openвЂ¦ and youвЂ™ll beam with intense pride. Greg CokerвЂ™s tactical gear from the Levant wars: this tac-kit has seen more combat than most men. Every chapter was a genuine thrill to read. It was flabbergasting to me that just one man could have so many insane experiences. I was utterly WRONG about him not having many more full-caliber, amazing stories to tell. I pushed the writing of my own book well aside to concentrate on GregвЂ™s story. When Greg started hammering me with one and two chapters a day, I knew he was serious, and I knew that I was then the official holdup of GregвЂ™s magnificent story. Ok, lesson in morals time: Did my friend mean that I could get off the ghostwriting task through the technicality that I had not hooked pinky fingers with Greg Coker and said, вЂњI promise to ghostвЂќ? Are we not men here anymore? When an adult says they will do something they must do it or accept the loss of personal credibility.ДЄ pinky-promise in action - that would probably be GregвЂ™s arm there on the rightвЂ¦ вЂњDid you just say you would or did you actually promise to do itвЂ¦?вЂќ I recall telling a friend that I had agreed to ghostwrite for Greg. When Greg asked me to ghostwrite the book for him I said I would do it, but I was not really convinced that he would ever really produce much. Yes, I tell you: I had some doubts about whether he could possibly have any more stories as riveting as the above three. When Greg indicated that he had so many other stories to tell, enough that could likely fill an entire book, I was skeptical. When coupled with the story of the shootdown of his helicopter by a Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM), SOFREP got a trifecta of non-fictional combat accounts. GregвЂ™s stories about the seizure of the Haditha Dam - the largest single combat action of the Iraqi war - and D-Day Afghanistan on objective Gecko are but two monumental stories that he has already shared with SOFREPвЂ™s audience. If one thinks that Greg Coker did a bit more than a manвЂ™s fair share in war, that thought is not only correct but also an understatement. Now, after generations, we can read first-hand accounts of Greg Coker, a pilot who spent eight years in combat in the Levant - a man who was present for the combat actions for both D-Day in Afghanistan and Iraq and for every engagement afterward. Not since Michael Durant wrote about his deployment to and missions in Somalia and his capture by Somali militia in 1993, has there been a book written by a TF-160 SOAR Night Stalker attack helo pilot.
