We hope you enjoy this episode of Gold Shields, let us know how we did.

GOLD SHIELDS returns with a high-impact episode featuring U.S. Air Force Special Mission Aviator Anthony Dyer who will bring you inside the fight for air superiority during the War on Terror.

When troops are in contact, control of the skies is the difference between survival and sacrifice. In this episode, Anthony Dyer shares firsthand accounts from above the battlefield—where split-second decisions, constant overwatch, and relentless vigilance protected American and allied forces on the ground.

These are the untold stories from the aircrews who never left the fight, even when the fight was at its most desperate.

This is the war seen from above.

This is how warriors in the sky shield those on the ground.

This is GOLD SHIELDS.
