Visiting Stuart for Grandkids Graduations. Had hoped to drive to FL via STMP farms for the annual event and visit Ft Bragg, but Gas $ + low $$ on SWAir from BWOI to PBI changed that. Are any area SFA members planning to go to NC for the Memorial Day event this year? Hope to attend your local event on the Holiday Weekend in any case, but did not rent a car due to family control of several events mandated that I would like to know of any Chapter participation I might join.

Hey Garry: (I'll do my best to keep it respectable)You guys have a nice site. I was a door gunner for the 281st AHC in 1968 and I am proud to have worked with 5th Special Forces throughout South Vietnam. You guys were something else and I still wonder how anyone could want to be dropped off in the middle of the jungle and get chased around by Charlie. Hats off to B-52, A-502, Mike Force, RECONDO, and all you other brave souls. Paul J. Greiner

I was in Laos in 62, Vietnam the first time in 63 and did not know there was a special flash for either Laos or Nam. Keep up the good work. By the way, would like for you to put the link to the Mike Force History Website. Those of you that were in the Mike Force, I invite you to register.

Your bound to get some good looking retirees eventually. I like your group shots, but some I.D.(if possible) would be nice. Best of everything to all the members.
