Captain Bill 'Hawk' Albracht saved more than 150 allied soldiers in daring escape
In October 1969, Army Captain Bill "Hawk" Albracht found himself posted at a base in Vietnamese jungle widely considered to be a backwater to the war. Surrounded by thousands of North Vietnamese soldiers, strapped for ammo and water, and with no hope of rescue, Albracht and his team of more than 150 American and South Vietnamese soldiers stared down communist forces armed to the teeth—with a slim chance of survival.
"My heart sunk," Albracht said recalling a message from command saying there would be no reinforcements. "I knew right then: We’ve got to get out of here, and we have to do it ourselves."

There were many examples of courage under fire. Tough luck to wait until this current usurper in the office. Good luck with getting the treadonous pukes to honor bravery and virtue.
ReplyDeleteYes virtue. Captain Albracht hisself said he needed to be at Kate. It was by his skillset and dedication that he would say such a thing. Skills are learned and honed; the same is said of dedication. Yet knowing and doing what is right (especially to the interest of the welfare of others) is bred to the bone early in life. Exemplary courage is ingrained.
Well said, Sir.
DeleteLooks like Russia and Vietnam are forming a relationship.

I am sure. When I first went back in 1992, there were many Russians still working in Vung Tau.Thanks.
