James Earl Rudder '32 was inducted posthumously this year into the U.S. Commando Hall of Honor.

Rudder was one of six former special operators inducted in April into the U.S. Special Operations Command's Commando Hall of Honor at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.

Rudder is the second Aggie to be inducted; Col. Chris St John '74 was inducted in 2017.

Thought you guys would be appreciative if this, even if it's alreayd posted it's sort another read.

This is a letter he wrote to one of his fallen ranger's families after Pointe Du Hoc.

Thanks for posting. Read Rudder's letter. I'm sure it was deeply meaningful to Caperton's parents.
