If there was ever a reason to have a "like" function on this BB, this post would - in my opinion - be it.

Agreed Richard.

I've met Tatonka and he's good people too!

Aye, that he is .... as are you MR2.

Here is the link to the story, along with a couple of "extras".

Excellent piece and good coverage.

Ed Bradley
 

Now years ago, about '96 or so, Ed Bradley and 60 Minutes brought a number of us who'd served in El Salvador to Washington DC.

To include General Stringham (Ret.).

We interviewed for several days to include a former FMLN - PRTC commandante, Gilberto Osorio.

The interview and subsequent segment was very positive and helped then Congressman Bob Dornan get full combat recognition approved for the war by Congress.

Bradley again came out when we dedicated the ES memorial stone and tree at Arlington. Great story - that effort was sponsored by the No Greater Love Foundation and assisted greatly by Major Andy Messing (Retired), an ES veteran himself.

Ken Bowra brought a C-130 up from Bragg with active duty guys from 7th Group who had served in ES, as well, for the ceremony.

That's two times I know of personally where 60 Minutes did right by us.
