In 2001 his unit 92AFA was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation...it only took 50 years for this. I was present for this and was greatly moved. Words cannot describe the unity I saw of these men gathered the reunion where the citations were presented. After 50 years these men were still one and you could see the great affection for one another. My father also served in vietnam with the 92AFA... All of you men were hero's then, you are now and forever will be...Thank all of you for your service!
