Of the few names that surface in the quiet world of Army Special Forces, Sgt. Maj. Walter Shumate's legend stands as a towering achievement to what one man can accomplish through sheer tyranny of will, his friends, family and fellow commandos said Friday. A cadre of dive instructors, veterans and fellow Special Operations Forces commandos gathered on the 71st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor to honor Shumate's memory by unveiling the newly painted "SGM Walter L. Shumate Free Ascent Diving Tower."
