He and James were always flying around, saving the neighborhood. And that's how he died, saving the world.
— Judy Probst, mother, on the childhood adventures of her son and best friend
In Iraq, Probst had the same assignment his father had in Vietnam: to make roads safe for advancing troops and supplies. Before his death, he carried out more than 100 combat missions covering more than 15,000 miles, surviving roadside bombs on several occasions.
