Viet Nam circa 1967 16 May 2007 He was a "green beret" and served with General Henry Hugh Shelton in 1967. His name and picture was mentioned in Robin Moore's book "THE GREEN BERETS". He was part of the 5th Special Forces Group. The team he was a part of was the first to intercept infiltrators from the north into the South Vietnam. I'm very proud of my father.
