Ernie Tabata, Special Forces legend, honored in dedication ceremony

Ernie Tabata, Special Forces legend, honored in dedication ceremony

http://www.fayobserver.com/news/2018...ation-ceremony

"Retired Sgt. Maj. Ernie Tabata helped train generations of Special Forces engineers before his death in 2015.

Over 67 years of service as a soldier and civilian, Tabata became a legend in the special operations community — a mentor and role model who was revered on Fort Bragg and abroad.

Tabata’s legacy in Special Forces now will live on through the dedication of a training complex in his honor........."

Well deserved honor.

A fitting tribute to one of the best soldiers and civilians I ever met.

Well done, Ernie!
