37thguy Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share #30 Posted March 25, 2017 A couple of pics of him in country. Bottom one is, I believe a pic of him being Medivac'd with his thumb shot off. He lost it to enemy fire while recovering the body of his Radioman in A-503. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODA021 Posted March 31, 2017 Share #36 Posted March 31, 2017 Paddock's book "Origins of SF" is a good start. Avoid Plaster's book. They do not provide much on SF specifically as SOG was a joint unit, not SF specific. If you want to do specific research on an individual, Steve Sherman is the man. He does have the most comprehensive personnel list going. If it's 10th Group specific send me an email and I can probably help you. That is my area of expertise. Good luck with your project.
