Red Green Beret
Sorry if this is an obvious question, I have met and served in support of few Green Berets during my carrier and attended way to funerals for the fallen. Recently while reviewing a memorial page I saw a photo of one of your fallen brothers who was wearing a Red beret with a Special Forces De Oppresso Liber tab along with the Special Forces patch. Was just wondering why the red beret and was there any special meaning.
Thank You in advance,
Doc

Airborne, not Special Forces qualified, assigned to an SF unit.
Easy to find via searching/googling.

I really doubt that he was wearing an SF Tab.

I am sure you mean CREST...not tab. The SF Tab goes over the Left Shoulder patch which incorporates the AIRBORNE tab, which I am certain must be different from the "Jason air 'BOURNE' tab"
