A childhood friend and always the first one I think of when remembering those who gave their all for our country!
Every Memorial Day I have a drink of Vernors Ginger Ale, in Dale's honor, a favorite at the Dehnke Home when we were young kids playing little league baseball and flag football together. While I had lost contact with Dale after high school, I ended up joining the Army (Warrant Officer Flight Training Program) in 1967, Deployed to Vietnam in 1968 and was assigned to the 195th Assault Helicopter Company in III Corp, which just so happened was assigned to support MACV-SOG CCS. So, I have worked with and supported Special Forces Recon Team members and can tell you they were some of the bravest, fiercest, Warriors this country has ever had. It doesn't surprise me that Dale chose to go the Special Forces route! Rest in peace my good friend, we all miss you!
