HOGS:Birthday in Iraq (Jim DeFelice's Hogs Short Story Collection Book 1)

Colonel Michael â€œSkullâ€ Knowlington, commander of Devil Squadron in the Iraqi desert, is trying to forget that itâ€™s his birthday. First off, it makes him feel old and lonely. Second, thereâ€™ll be less temptation to celebrate with his staff and break his hard-won sobriety streak. The best way to forget is to fly. Up in the A-10A warthog, Skull feels as young as he was when he was a decorated pilot in Vietnam. His sortie is an easy oneâ€”until he picks up on a distress call from a stranded Navy Seal team. Theyâ€™re trapped on a hill, surrounded by a swarm of enemy soldiers on all sides. Does Knowlington still have what it takes to help them?
