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.

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

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.

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. -Hardcharger
