Military times- You should make a video about the longest serving LRRP and later Ranger in Vietnam. CSM Patrick Tadina served in Vietnam with the 173rd AB, LRRP, 74th Infantry Detachment Long Range Patrol, and Company N (Ranger), 75th Infantry. For over 5 years, between 1965 and 1970, he led long-range reconnaissance patrols deep into enemy territory - often dressed in black pajamas and sandals, and carrying an AK-47. His small stature and dark complexion helped him pass for a Viet Cong soldier on patrols in the Central Highlands. Even though he was a leader, Tadina always took point position in his team. Because of his appearance, he would brazenly walk up to within a few feet of the enemy, open fire, then hastily retreat, leading the surviving enemy pursuers directly into an ambush, previously set up by his team. A native of Hawaii, Tadina also served in the Dominican Republic, Grenada, and Iraq. During his 30-year US Army career, Tadina was cited for valor (2 Silver Stars), 10 Bronze Stars (7 with V Device), 4 Army Commendation Medals (2 with V Device) and three Purple Hearts. I believe his family is on Facebook and you could contact them in order to put together information for a video. Patrick deserves to be honored and a video by you would be a great way to honor him.

Met some of the LRRPs when I was in Lai Khe, Vietnam. Unbelievable soldiers. They were going out into the 'bush' at dark to look for the VC while the rest of us were hunkering down...Soft caps, quiet, as much ammo as they could carry. Amazing guys....

May today's Men be but a fraction of the character of these. God Bless them all.

"If you aren't gonna quit, you better get good."

Thank You guys! All you guys..Any veteran reading this you better understand you mean something to the common man. We would be absolutely nothing without you!

To all of you who served Thank you for your Service Sirs.

My Brother was LRRP F Company 51st Infantry, and O Company 75th.

Badass boys to be sure. There is no one I respect more than combat veterans.

Vietnam Era - "the other guys were 18, so at 21 my maturity helped me."
