SFC Tung Nguyen, RIP

"He was first an infantryman, then a paratrooper, serving in the 101st Airborne Division, and, finally, a Green Beret. A crack shot, foster brother Jim Cracraft told the Modesto Bee, Nguyen’s ambition was to join the military. Recognized as a master marksman, Nguyen (38) became an instructor at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center in 2003 and, later, shipped out to Iraq."

    I always notice the Vietnamese, Americans or not, from having served with them as an advisor. Some were fighters, some were not, but all were brave. It figures their sons would be.
