I'd put Ashley, Donlon, Zab, Caviani, Benavidez, Mawhinney and Hathcock before those guys.
Also anybody who served in CCN, CCS, Project Delta or a Hatchet Co.

I had the Honor of meeting Col Howard, words can not describe what it was like just to be able to hear him talk. I am truly in awe of you guys that had the opportunity to work for him or with him.

Well, it was inferred, but-you're right-I should have put that first on my list. 
An entire book could be written about Doug or Joe alone...

So that's what he looks like from the front side. All I remember is the ruck.....

Today at Arlington there was a funeral and I watched the honor guard with their Caisson leaving from the funeral. Once they got to section where COL Howard is buried he rendered his salute and held it until they passed it.
He's resting in a sacred place in very good company.
There's a very helpful Arlington National Cemetery app to pinpoint the graves that you are looking for.

One day, Bad Bob will be given proper credit.
I'm utterly disgusted at the lack of respect shown this Warrior to date.
