Thank You, Sgt. Jones, I was enroute CONUS, from 8th group, to be discharged from service when you died. The 40 years since have been amazing, I regret you did not have the opportunity to grow old and play with grandchildren. (Hand salute) Your service honors us.

SSG MARTIN ARBEIT

SSG Martin Arbeit Recon One-Zero at MACVSOG (CCN). Ran a tight team composed of SSG Sydney and 10 Rhade tribemen. His local troops were dedicated to him. His leadership was truly inspirational. Not only a combat leader, but went out of his way for the families of team.

We have been the poorer with his loss. Now, 43 years later, I still miss him. He will always be the 23 year old who was my friend. Rest in peace.
