Don't laugh.. "One of Red's greatest tasks and accomplishments occurred in 1991 following the Gulf War with Iraq. Red and his team extinguished 117 of the burning oilwell fires ignited by Sadam Hussein's Iraqi troops retreating from Kuwait. The wells extinguished by Red and his men were located in the Ahmadi, Magwa and Burgan fields -- the highest producing fields in Kuwait. Red was instrumental in expediting the shipment of crucial supplies and equipment into Kuwait by testifying before the Gulf Pollution Task Force and meeting with President George Bush concerning the logistical problems of the entire firefighting operation. Although estimates of completion of the firefighting operation ranged from three to five years, this monumental task was completed in a record nine months.' Red has also received Special Letters of Recognition from President Jimmy Carter, President Lyndon B. Johnson, and President George Bush. One wrote: Through your undaunted courage, perseverance, and skill, you have probably saved more oil than any single individual in the world. Each time you go into a wild oil fire situation, you demonstrate again that American ingenuity, skill, and self-discipline can master the seemingly impossible. You have served your country well by your willingness to do a dangerous and important job with a rare ability... In an age said to be without heroes, you are an authentic hero.
