“You Never Forget Watching Them Die”

In 1993, during a routine training exercise at 29 Palms, Mac witnessed something no Marine should ever see outside of war. A helicopter flying dangerously low—just seven feet off the ground—crashed less than 75 yards from him. The pilot was decapitated. The co-pilot crushed. And despite their desperate attempts, every Marine aboard died.

This isn’t a combat story. It’s a story about what trauma looks like when you least expect it—and how memories like that never leave you.
Mac opens up about the moment his life changed forever and what it means to carry those images for decades.
