Getting our community together to read the names of  fallen Special Operations men was a significant task. Everyone’s involvement was critical in making this happen, and it was inspiring to see the SOFREP community come together to work this as a team.

In SOF training you learn real fast that large tasks are accomplished very easily with small teams that are highly motivated.

I think we all saw this happen in the case of this project and these men will never be forgotten thanks to your efforts. 

Thank you to everyone for your support, and special thanks to all the Veterans that served this great country.

On behalf of everyone here in the SOFREP community, Happy Veterans Day.

One last "Thank You" for Veteran's Day 2012, found this and thought I'd share....

 

Thank you for braving the unspeakable horrors of war.

 

Thank you for sacrificing time with your families and missing those significant milestones the rest of us take for granted.

 

Thank you to your spouses who find themselves living nomadic lives, often far away from the support of loved ones.

 

Thank you to your children who accept your absence as a way of life and understand they share you with a nation and sometimes the world.

 

Thank you to your parents who have nothing but prayers to protect you and must now trust you will be safe and that we will offer the best we have to you.

 @Wicky229 Good Morning Wicky, having the kids do a couple of names was brilliant,  that really made me "choke up".... 

 

Not sure if your daughters still believes in Santa  or not have her call the "NORAD Santa Tracking."  This will make my 7th year volunteering, on 24 Dec 12 we go down to Pete, for calls and emails...  My favorite call from a 4 year old little girl  "do angels in Heaven also get presents too?"  My reply: "yes, they do sweetie."  I've so many other stories, I could write a book  HA!!!!

Can't wait to get home to hear this. I'm honored to be a part of this and so was my better half. Some tremendous people visit this site, people that I'm glad are on my side and people that leave me completely humbled. And that's really what this was about (at least for me) - to be humbled by the sacrifice of so many for so many more. 

 

May this Veterans Day invoke the memories of those that forged our history in blood, sweat and tears.

 Agreed. It would be a big project that deserves the time to invest. Obviously (I hope) I am in to help anyway I can. I was thinking about this on my way to work and to make it even more meaningful to the SOFREP group, I think we start with those who have personal meaning to us. For those of the mafia who can't participate from a voice recognition concern, another of us can take on that person for them. Anyway, deserves some thought as I think this could be a great group effort and a wonderful tribute.

Special Operations Memorial Plaque

"To honor the selfless service and sacrifice of the men and women of the United States Special Operations Command and its assigned forces; to honor, promote, and preserve our Nation's illustrious special operations heritage by recognizing the achievements, service, and sacrifice of the individual, units, and other special operations organizations that contributed to our legacy, and, to recognize patriotic citizens who form our Auxiliary. . . whose faithful commitment and support to America's special operations forces make this memorial possible." This memorial is dedicated to and pays tribute to those men and women of Special Operations who have made the supreme sacrifice in service to their nation.  It is also dedicated to 'Quiet Professionals' of yesterday, today, and tomorrow who, as part of a legendary community of uncommonly skilled and uniquely trained ground, air, and maritime forces and civilians, stand ready to meet the challenges faced by our nation."

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."  Woodrow Wilson

 

An honor to serve and participate with Sofrep Community.  Outstanding are the children's voices.  Thanks guys and gals it was fun and hearing the names this morning gives me chills.  May they never be forgotten.

 

May God continue to bless America!

    • In the IDF, 'Lonely Soldier' is a term that describes soldiers serving on active duty who have no family is Israel. These are volunteers that came to serve for 3-5 years. They typically go back to their respective countries upon completion. Most commonly, these are people who immigrated to Israel by themselves. I was one of them. While in Israel, I lived in an apartment building where the majority of people were lonely soldiers. It was located on the outer ring of Jerusalem, surrounded by four Arab villages. My roommates were two recon guys (like me) and one who worked in field intel. All of the other inhabitants were soldiers from various units, with most of them serving a combat role. It was a well known thing, especially to the Arabs in the village. Most of the time we wouldn't be there, but when we were on leave, we would come to the apartment for a little R&R. It was rare that the four of us were there at the same time, but once in a blue moon, it did happen. Each village had, as is customary, its own mosque. When the time for prayer came, the loudspeakers would call out to the faithful. It was OK, we were used to it. However, over the weekend they would make it a point to play the call to prayer very, and I mean VERY, loud. They knew soldiers would be in the building trying to get some sleep - recovering from several weeks in the field. This always annoyed me but there was nothing I could do. On this particular weekend, after an intense seven weeks of non-stop ops, all I wanted was to go to the apartment, sleep, eat, sleep some more and then sleep again. That weekend the four of us were at the apartment and we were all equally tired. We arrived Thursday night and after a small dinner and some beers, we went to sleep. At 0400 we all jumped.... The freaking loudspeakers at all four mosques began their call to prayer at full blast. Fuck.... We spent the remainder of the day trying to rest and every time we would fall asleep, again... The call for prayers, full blast! Over lunch, we all looked at each other and knew this had to stop. We came up with a plan. I know it wasn't nice, but at that point we couldn't care less about political correctness. Here's what we did. After some recon that night, we noticed that the call to prayer wasn't performed by an Imam or some other person with a microphone. It was a tape recorder that used a tape. We figured the four of us, experts in stealthy infils, could sneak in and steal those tapes. However, while we were planning the different infil routes for each village, we all smiled and did something better. We recorded Metallica's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' on repeat on all four tapes and then waited till midnight. At midnight, each one of us - armed with a Metallica tape - headed to a different village. All dressed in black, we were careful not to be seen. We entered into the buildings and exchanged the tapes. We rallied back to the exfil point, a crossroad not far from the last village and headed back to our apartment. And then we waited... At 0350 we went to the roof with some coffee, opened some field chairs and waited for the show to begin. At 0400 sharp the first "call" came alive, full volume: Make his fight On the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside ... Take a look To the sky Just before you die It's the last time he will Followed by the next, then the 3rd and 4th joined in. Full volume Metallica! Soon after, we heard sirens headed to the villages. I don't know what happened after that, but we had our own private concert, right there. No kidding, there I was... Metallica call to prayer
