50th Anniversary
The Secretary of the Army, my homeboy, John McHugh laid a wreath today at President Kennedy’s gravesite to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Green Beret according to Stars & Stripes.
Kennedy approved the green beret after visiting Fort Bragg, N.C., in late 1961. In a message to then-Special Forces Commander Brig. Gen. William P. Yarborough, Kennedy wrote: “The challenge of this old but new form of operations is a real one and I know that you and the members of your command will carry on for us and the free world in a manner which is both worth and inspiring. I am sure the Green Beret will be a mark of distinction in the trying times abroad.”

Love it! If it wasn’t for JFK, we’d be cunt cap wearing bitches.
So, that’s what I was. Strange, I never thought of myself as a cunt cap wearing bitch. Thanks.
