warpath Posted September 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 19, 2011 SON TAY Raid Silver Star Medal Grouping[/b]...Son Tay Raider SFC Marion S. Howell REDWINE Element......A very humble man who spoke rarely about his actions and awards...I met him a few years ago when he did some work on my store...Sharp individual with a strong sense of purpose and duty and modest. The gouping is shown with his medals and paperwork and his Green Berets, knife he carried on missions in Vietnam as well as his FOB 1 plaque...I'll post more to my web site with information on the Son Tay Raid with links soon...A very historic grouping IMHO.

BigJohn#3RD Posted September 19, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 19, 2011 Ed, Awesome posting, great piece of SF History, many of them are walking among as not saying a word of what they did the Quiet Professionals.

Jack's Son Posted September 19, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 19, 2011 That is a very nice grouping of a soldiers's career. I have to assume he, or his family gave this to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriegsmodell Posted September 19, 2011 Share #17 Posted September 19, 2011 Nearly speechless. A mind boggling historic grouping. In good hands. I find it a privilege just to look at the items.

warpath Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share #19 Posted September 19, 2011 That's quite an assumption...However, this was a direct purchase from his daughter, Karen...I knew Sgt. Major Howell, but I was not related to him nor was I fortunate enough to be given anything associated with him. Ed That is a very nice grouping of a soldiers's career.I have to assume he, or his family gave this to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
