Commo Class 66-3
The graduation picture for Special Forces Training Group Communications Class 66-3 is presented below. When we graduated, we were told to
keep a magic marker handy. When we asked why, we were told "... so you can put an 'X' on the class members killed in Viet Nam".

Col Kelly at Gia Vuc
Every once in a while the SF camps would receive a 'special' visitor. On this particular day, Col. Kelly (Cmdr, 5th Gp) paid a visit to
A-103 Gia Vuc.

Respect, honor, and support... that's what SF always received from this 'Colonel'. One classy lady!! Will you ever forget that smile??
