If you can read this, thank a teacher.

If you can read this without fear of punishment, thank a veteran.

He was at The Battle of Cape Esperance? Damn.

Rest In Peace, Lt. Cmdr. Boehm.

Sad sending that link to a friend who drives vans during market with me. He was in the second "class" of SEALS. Volunteered for Nam to get away from Hyannis. Guess who had water duty when JFK went boating? He will be upset.

Well . . . crap!

 

[R. Richard]

A giant gone.

 

[Pornguin]

He has all the respect I can give to someone.

 

[trysail]

The real deal— and there aren't many.

 

[jomar]

Yep to all of the above.

ETA: I will look up his autobiography. You guys might like Richard Marcinko's Rogue Warrior series - over the top, but fun. He dedicated one of his books to Boehm.

A little bit concerned that the newspaper article itself states that the widow pleaded with them that there be no article as it was against her husband's wishes.
