August, 2002 and I think the day was the 11th at the Regimental Supper where the first Yarborough knives were awarded to the graduating class of the United States Army Special Forces Qualification Course.
The featured speaker at that event was General Doug Brown, then Commanding General of USASOC and it was General Brown who, inspired by Yarborough, authorized the process by which the knife to become the "Yarborough" was selected.
