OPS-31 isn't forgotten, just a bit lesser known outside the community - like the half dozen SEALs who were actually attached to some of the RTs at CCN and CCC.

And so it goes...

Absolutely, it also appears as though more SEALs were filtered into operations when SOG changed into STDA.

LT Thomas Rolland Norris, MoH for actions on 4/13/72, presented 3/6/76

Engineman First Class Michael Edwin Thornton, MoH for actions 10/31/72, presented 10/15/73

and then there was OPS-33

Can any of the warriors of SOG tell me if you know:

Was SGT Michael D. Buchanan's DSC a downgraded MoH nomination, as SGT James Pruitt's was on the same mission? Who, if any, were the other Americans involved on this EPW snatch mission?

Thanks much for any information you can provide, and thank you all again for your service!

Ask Bru - he knew Buck and probably knows for sure.
