I get to Arlington everytime I travel to the east coast. There are many, many SOF warriors resting there along with my son and MSG Yost. My concern about a SOF Memorial - while justified for the number of SOF that have given all in this war - is along what Pete said in regards to all the other services that would want a memorial to their fallen brothers as well. I will support any effort Kemper and anyone else wants to pursue in anyway I can - I just don't know how far we can take this at least at Arlington. One other thought is that while there are many SOF Warriors at Arlington, there are also a great number that are at the National Cemeteries near their home towns, as well as local cemeteries in their towns.
There is a very moving Memorial Wall at USASOC that many here have seen and attended the Memorialization Ceremonies with me each May since 2006. All of the USASOC fallen are on that wall, and the renovation last year is terrific . If anyone would like me to send them some pictures of any particular names, please send me a PM and I will make sure I get pictures to you the next time I get "home" to Bragg.
