Taking Jared's flight
Gold Star Mother Janet Monti gives the thumbs-up before taking flight in an F-15E Strike Eagle Nov. 10, 2010, at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C. Her son, Army Staff Sgt. Jared Monti, always wanted to be a pilot, but joined the Army instead. More than four years after his heroic death in Afghanistan, his mother was given a chance to live her son's dream.
