RANGERS LEAD THE WAY. ..
A RANGER IN THE SKY
Sp Ops/ Master Parachutist Airborne /Combat Infantry Ranger (Vietnam )
Retired Honorable July 1968 - July 1990 22 yrs and 2 months
his friend once told him:
"You are what Men Fear
Women Love
and kids Want to grow up to be"
I met him in 1981 a young Lt in Korea and he was at the age of 33 a decorated soldier.
He had been a drill sergeant to many, trained many Airborne to included the first Airborne female. He worked in the pentagon. Just what didn't he do.
He lived everyday oh so proud to serve his country. What soldier would turn down being given 100...Expand for more
% disability after being wounded in Vietnam to fight for the right to return to Vietnam and continue being a Combat Infantry Ranger.
ONLY THIS RANGER IN THE SKY
He retired and went on to serve as a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER as a Canine Officer and Deputy Sheriff 20+ years. Solano County and San Rafael (California)
Interesting enough making his mark there too
The very first Color Guard San Rafael had he put in place, trained and purchased their uniforms with his own money. To include a department flag.
Today the Color Guard is represented at academy guaduations and at the grief and sorrow of an officers funeral.
The legacy lives of a RANGER IN THE SKY!!!
