My ODA replaced the team receiving the majority of the Silver Stars. One of my good SF buddies is one of the honored few. We were SERE School Survival Buddies. He lost his leg in the fight that many of us call Operation Commando Wrath. While we recognize and congratulate their heroism I recognize and admire his continued love for his family and the Regiment that he represents. In all the contact that I have had with him he has never once complained. He speaks about his love for his family and for his fellow comrades. Never have I met someone that has been so optimistic and positive after having suffered the type of loss that he has endured. "The Duke" is truly deserving of this award and I can't wait to meet up with him again when I get back to the States in a few months.
Job well done John Wayne...
