47 Years Ago,, Operation Ivory Coast
PSA
Operation Ivory Coast
Date: November 21, 1970
A mission conducted by United States Special Operations Forces and other American military elements to rescue U.S. Prisoners of War in North Viet Nam.
On this date brave men made history.
I consider myself extremely blessed to have broken bread with some of these American Heroes..

There was a SF retiree assisting Phase 4 (Sage, but in this case not the FTX) that as I interacted with during a role playing scenario. His name was Tyrone and I later heard he was a Son Tay Raider. I'm 99% certain that was SGM(R) Adderly, but the rumor mill being what it was, I like to confirm it.
Can anyone confirm he was working or volunteering at Mackall around 2006?

I’ve eaten dinner with Tyrone Adderly. If he was a big that life black guy with hazel eyes, that was him. He was incredible to talk to and funny as hell!
