Special Ops Museum Outside ViewSummary:
If you think Special Operations is The Green Berets wth John Wayne, then you'd be wrong. It sounds courageous, with lots of glory and ribbons.

I've had relatives that were in Special Operations, along with very good friends. It's hard work, lots of mud or today sand, operations in back country and pills that keep you constipated while your're out. It's friends dying. My uncle woke up with his whole squad dead and a view of a bayonet aimed at his head.

When he came back, my uncle never talk about what happened. After I joined the military he'd look at me differently, but there was always that far away look in his eyes when he thought of what he'd been through.

It affected his life, his friends, his children. While it seemed like lots of glory and women when he joined, the reality turned out to be a life long sacrifice that he gave to his country. For you and I.

This museum honors those people. In a small way, it's a thank you. As you walk through, honor them, and say thanks.
