I apologize, my comment was intended in a good natured ribbing, from one Group to another.

No worries, just wanted to keep the record straight.
Never forget them though.

Max Tab - Just to let you know a bit of history, through the early 80s there were a number of wounded as well as KIA from the 7th but no CIBs as the political climate required "Quiet Professionals". I realize it was just a dig but thought I would add a bit to the history, only a bit further back then did TR. Dam, getting OLD! 
I still wonder what part of the Clintons' $5000.00 gift is still in my body from the early 80s in El Sal. Col Scruggs tried to get me my Purple Heart a couple of years ago, but no go.
As far as the 1st, they too must play the Quiet Profesional.
Hmmm, 5th Group, isn't that the Group that is "half" as good as 10th?

Didn't they recently approve the CIB for El Sal?

Yes, but for after 85. My time was there form 81 TO 85. That was the time frame in which I was wounded, 83. They seemed t ohave ignored the first several years of work in El Sal when bombs went off all over the place and we were severly resticted to 55 military guys in country, thanks to the same pussy assed Dems trying to lose this war for us.
During the big "celebration" at the GB club, those of us there before 85 was a bit miffed. They just did not understand why we were so upset.

You have to understand LR was there when the Conquistadores landed, he thought they were his USMC relief. He was wounded by an arrow.
And he's always a "bit miffed." LOL

Lewis or Oki...
Although he should not have too much trouble switching if he does get Torii Station.
BTW, to set the record straight...
CPT Harry G. Cramer... 21 Oct 1957 SVN
MAJ W COLE HOGAN JR ... 11 SEP 2001 Pentagon
SFC Nathan "Nate" R. Chapman ...4 Jan 2002 AFG
RIP
Congrats on his language ... Maybe he can even end up in the longest forward deployed detachment.
