Nice story about an Aggie's service in the military, for the public, in his community.

Nice article. Also a great insight into a Now-declassified Corner of the Vietnam War. I certainly had never heard about it before.

The author of the article, Todd Blomerth, is FTAB Class of '72 and a retired district judge. He wrote a series of articles about Caldwell County veterans that he has published in a book.

Todd wrote an equally fascinating story about Benny's brother in law, Rodney Griffith, FTAB Class of '62 I think, who was one of the first Air Force pilots trained on helicopters, who rescued down pilots in Viet Nam. North Vietnam had a price on his head when he left VN.

It's nice to see that fightin' fish Blomerth put the advice and guidance we gave him to good use.
The person that is not willing to fight and die, if need be, for his country has no right to life.
