My very first deployment: as a vehicle to RTO. THEN WITH 2ND PLT. MFF FREFALL TM. Then got out and went to AFSOC TO BE A CCT FOR ANOTHER 6 YEARS. But things have been hard and I love and miss you guy's so much don't really have many friends anymore. Kinda saw so much death lost myself and, went off the deep end. Lord God Bless Brother.

[@dfendrick]

Having served in 1st Recon Bn., Bravo Company, 1st Platoon in Vietnam 68-69, I'm very proud to have been a legacy warrior for these young heroes. Their war was considerably different than mine and the mission was different but the professionalism, passion and brotherhood these guys share is the same we had. Great video.
