Great work Tom with the film! Also, you did a awesome job putting it together Fred! Couldn't see it drop from 5-10 miles away, but saw the explosion and the smoke. Thanks!

It is with deepest sorrow that I announce the passing of Dan Darden earlier this afternoon. For those who don't know Dan, he was the Radio Chief for BLT 2/9 and was with Col Austin and the command group on Koh Tang. He was also past Vice President of the KTMVO. His wife Ann has asked for privacy the next few days until she and family can get things worked out. I will post updates as they become available. Tom Noble and I would ask that you contact us if needed, rather than Ann. Thanks.

Thinking about this again for some reason then saw the link. Just printed and read the 1995 Naval War College report. What a mess. We learned lessons that may have helped get Bin Laden. Went through combat school with Sgt Dwyer from Massachusetts. Left NKP and the 56th SPS August 1, 75'.
