De Oppresso Liber.

Gives pause; thank you.
Salute.

Rest In Peace. Never forget.

With total respect to SGT Mick, I believe Captain Richard Rees was the last SF soldier killed in Vietnam. He was the team leader on the first JCRC team inserted on 15 Dec 73. He was killed when he stood up to alert the enemy that the team was on a recovery mission. May both rest in peace...

I remember that, you are correct....my joint Commission card, still have it.
