And the combat patch was worn to honor those whom answered the call to duty and served their country IN UNIFORM, in combat, in a time of war, for only they are true combat veterans, having earned these patches by military orders as a testimony to their service and sacrifice. Prayers out to all whom contributed and supported our country in her darkest hour.)

NOTE:  Hawke wore his COMBAT INFANTRY BADGE or (C.I.B.) in this episode as a way of honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in IRAQ and Afghanistan. The CIB is only given to Infantry and Special Forces who have engaged in ground combat, in theater (in country) only when the war is officially declared a COMBAT ZONE by the US GOVERNMENT and Department of Defense. Then orders are issued, and it is awarded as a permanent badge and recorded on ALL Military Discharges. There are no records that are so classified that the CIB can not be awarded openly for public record. These are not given to contractors, or other government agencies. Therefore the CIB is a coveted award worn with pride by all SPECIAL FORCES whom fought as a way to honor our brethren who are no longer with us.  Mykel also wore his Jumpmaster badge for fun and pride, as it says the wearer has a good deal of experience in overall military operations to have passed the school and jumped enough to earn it.

Seven Year-Old Fisherman

A nice story from a father with an ambitious and survival-savvy son:

My 7 year-old son loved the all of the MAN WOMAN WILD shows and kept asking me to play them over and over on Netflix. One day he was out playing in the woods behind our home and made a fishing pole out of sticks and his shoelace. This wasn't any old fishing pole because it also had a bobber and a pointed hook, all made from sticks. I was amazed but a little aggravated that he used up his shoelace, but after he said "Dad, I learned it from Mykel!" I knew exactly what he meant and had to chuckle. He is so in awe of the things you both did. I truly appreciate the love and patience that you showed to each other. I also learned a lot about my own significant other and how to teach AND learn from each other. Thank you!
