Well I was never a SEAL, SPECIAL FORCES or even a RANGER, just a plain old worm with the 101st in the A Shau but I did have the opportunity to work with an SF team in 71. Those men took it to a whole new level of courage and honor, a level I would only hope to attain. Them boy’s kept my knee’s shaking for three weeks, It was an honor to have served with men of that caliber. I’m 64 years old but I would have slapped his neighbor right in the mouth and begged him to stand up!

Don’t mess with an old guy. If he can’t fight you, he will just kill you...

Let me just say there’s more to this story, I was medevac’d out on my 21st day. CAP and the Boy’s put me in for a Bronze Star with a V, CAP and 6 of the boys were there when it was awarded. CAP and 4 of the boy’s have passed away, these men were my hero’s.

I don’t even know why I shared that but I do know I have tears streaming down my cheek’s. Please pardon the memories of an old man!
