Millett was awarded the 1st Vietnamese Ranger Badge (Biet Dong Quan)of which only approximately 2500 were awarded. Col. Millett served as Grand Marshall for the "Salute to veterans Parade" in Riverside, CA this past April. Earlier this year, a park in San Jacinto was dedicated in his name. He was a soldier's soldier who was always available for the troops. All the BDQ are saddened by his passing and he will be missed. To you Col. Millett "Biet Dong Quan Sat". |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Greg Baker Message: Well, I got my knee surgery rescheduled to the week after the Cookout, so I hope to see many of ya'll next week. Sounds like Ranger Keohane is in for quite a surprise when he sees Camp. Was great to see Doug Perry, Willie Snow, Bob Dawes, Bill Block, and Gary O'Neal and a bunch of other young fellers at Best Ranger last week. Mark Jordan, don't know where you were hiding? Looking forward to seeing a lot of folks I haven't seen in a long time. Anybody know if Ramsey or Garcia are coming? |
