Steve details his first-hand experience in dropping the first bomb of the Shock and Awe campaign from an F-117 stealth fighter in 2003. From President Bush's 48-hour warning to Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq to the opening strikes of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Steve provides a cockpit perspective on what it is like to serve as a front line warfighter and attack the heart of the enemy. Steve's story is also detailed in the book Cobra II: The Inside Story of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq by Michael R. Gordon and General Bernard E. Trainor.
