Mike Osika was aboard the USS Enterprise on January 14, 1969, when -- 75 miles from Pearl Harbor and in preparations to sail to Vietnam -- explosions ripped across the flight deck. Mike joined the fight on the deck to save the ship from the inferno that claimed 28 lives and injured more than 300. Years later, Mike was aboard HFC100 as an honored veteran. Following his flight, he came across a veteran interview with an old high school friend participating in HFC101 that he long thought was KIA in Vietnam. Their reunion after 52 years is a fitting capstone to this episode!
