BTW. that Capt. Stewart G. Elliot in the pic have more medals on he's uniform than even a Russian admiral on display, hehe
True! The US military has thousands of helos in all services. The USMC has about 550 helos assigned to active duty squadrons.

That admrial is a Navy SEAL. He's more than likely been on many, many missions.
