I just attened Menton Day in Tacoma, WA at the Tacoma Visitors center. The host was the 1st SFG(A) at Ft. Lewis, WA. 12/08/06
The Special Forces General from Ft. Bragg, who was the guest speaker MG Thomas R. Csrnko, said that the FSSF Association had agreed to continue with reunions and the next one would be in Toronto Canada in 2007.
He vowed that the Special Forces Regiment would be there and would continue to support the FSSF Assn. He also mentioned the special bond between the Princess Pat Regiment and the New Canadian Special Forces unit especially with the 1st SFG(A).
There were maybe eight Forcemen in attendance at Menton Day. One of them played 'Lily Marlene' on his harmonica, as well as the Army song. He was good! One may have been a Canadian member of the FSSF.
There were over 1,000 People in attendance from the 1st SFG(A), Canadian Princess Pat Regiment, the New Canadian SF Regiment, SF Retiress and SF Assn, and friends of the Special Forces Regiment.
The Drum Line from the Princess Pat Regiment put on their usual black light show! It was great as usual!
Earlier in the week other activties were conducted to include a combined airborne operation. Lot's of new Canadian wings and american wings on the dress uniforms.
My Wife and I enjoyed the festivities, We were seated with a Major from the Princess Pats, I think he was an S-2 for one of the units.
