Sorry for your loss, radbir, and thank you for your father's distinguished service.

Their having forged the path ahead, toiling under the heavy load they had, made the passage of us of the later generations so much easier.

Sorry for your loss. What an incredible article radblr.

RIP Warriors

Rest in Peace, Gentlemen! You have left a great legacy for others to follow. Thank you for your service and many sacrifices!

My sincere condolences, radblr, on the loss of your father.

I am sorry for your loss, radblr; what a terrific legacy.

Radblr, thank you for posting this; and I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

The Forcemen were legends. I had the pleasure of meeting a few of them in Helena and in Marysville, MT ~25 years ago. Hard as woodpecker lips and the same warped sense of humor we had.

Their official unit history is stunning to say the least. When we were drinking some beer with the Forcemen, they mentioned their nickname for themselves: Freddy's Freighters. Loooong ruck marches were the order of the day back them. :biggrin:

I'm glad I got to know them. Rest assured we're still using their SOPs to this day.

May they both rest in peace, they both earned it years ago...thank you for your service and example, it continues to motivate young men all these years later.

Sorry for your loss; my sincere condolences radblr. May your father and Joe Glass rest in Peace.

I served in two (Cdn) units that perpetuated the FSSF, and got to know a few of them throughout the years. Outstanding men all of them.

Sorry for your loss Sir.

My Mother who was battling cancer lived out in Santa Fe, NM. and the oil fields that I've been working on now for going on a year, are located "near" where your Father was born in Farmington.

From what my ARMY SOF buddies tells me, these old timers are the tough SOB's that paved the way for the current success and stature of the men and programs we have today. Once again, sorry for your loss, RIP.

Sorry for your loss--these guys were not only legendary in their exploits, but also in the standards they set, and the legacy that has led to seamless joint and combined SOF operations.

Rabdir,

Know they served proudly and are not forgotten.

Rest peacefully Gentlemen, we are forever in your debt.

R.I.P. Warriors...

Sorry for your loss. Prayers your way. You must be very proud of your father.

RIP warriorss.

Sorry for your loss radblr. He and the others were truly great men.

RIP to the fallen.
