Guys,
Just got this in - I don't know how many here would remember Old Chargin Charlie Ferguson - but he is a serious old School SOB that made his bones way back before most of us were born. My memory of him had equal parts of awe and terror - thats how he was, thats how he wanted it. I tried to find a picture of him - but so far, no luck (the only one I have is in my head).
Please pay this Special Forces Legend the respect that he earned, in spades, over 50 years ago.
Mitch

CSM Charlie Ferguson (retired) is an SF icon! He has BTDT! His CIB is third award, his Master Wings have at least one combat jump star, and he has a Silver Star and Purple Heart w/OLC's.
The last time I saw him was at the July LLDB and Vietnamese 81st Airborne Ranger Reunion in Little Saigon/Westminster, CA. It's always an honor to talk with him!
Take care Sir!
Carl
