Retirement caps honorable service for Medal of Honor recipient
Retirement caps honorable service for Medal of Honor recipient
http://www.fayobserver.com/articles/...9?sac=fo.local
"Col. Gordon R. Roberts, who received the Medal of Honor as a sergeant during the Vietnam War, retired from the Army on Friday at Fort Bragg.
Roberts was the most senior soldier on active duty wearing the nation's highest military honor, said Maj. Gen. Kenneth S. Dowd, commander of Fort Bragg's 1st Theater Sustainment Command. Not a one-time hero, Roberts also has two Silver Stars, the third-highest award for valor..............."
Congrats for your service through the years. Enjoy your retirement - you've earned it.

Always a gentlemen. He was a fine commander and a great shooter as well.
I always enjoyed running into him.
