Thanks for sharing this Richard. These guys are special. 400' - no reserve - NVA uniform - AK-47. Their recognition is long overdue.

Mark - yep, I served with Sammy Hernandez, Rich Gross, and Mark Gentry (who was on ODA-3 and one of our instructors when our ODA went through MFF training at Altenstadt in the summer of '77).

I only had one 'qualm', if that's a correct word usage, in regards to the ceremony's brochure - it lists TFAE1 vs TF1AE which is the only way I've ever seen it listed (see atchd jpg).
