Rest in Peace Brother. DOL

RIP Brother, Vaya con Dios.
Prayers, and my deepest condolences to the Britt family. De Oppresso Liber
I was very fortunate to have been able to drown a bunch of beer with SGM Britt at the monthly get-togethers at the Cape.

Damn,
I always enjoyed drinking a few beers and listening to CSM Britt's stories. He was a wealth of knowledge on the Son Tay raid.

I know this may seem a little silly, but the man certainly earned the honour.
I Googled Son Toy Raid, wanting to enjoy reading the story again.
First click was Wikipedia; their briefs on military history tend to be short but informative; why not?
There happened to be a list of the Raiders names, and the good CSM isn't on it
Could someone far more knowledgeable than me, have a quick read, and tell me where best to add the CSMs name.
Happy to do the leg work.
Wikipedia
Cheers
