EXCERPT FROM FOREWORD: This book is by soldiers about a group of soldiers who in the difficult days following the end of the Vietnam War volunteered to be a part of an experiment to rebuild the Army and restore the high standards of discipline and training that had become frayed after 10 years in Vietnam. The vision of then Chief of Staff of the Army Creighton Abrams was to create a unit that could become a model for the rest of the Army to emulate, and to have the veterans of that unit populate throughout the Army to pass along the best of what they learned from their experiences. To that end, the project has been a tremendous success as evidenced by the alumni of that unit who have gone on to serve in senior positions, both officer and enlisted, throughout the Army, and later as proud citizens of our nation.General John P. Abizaid, U.S. Army RetiredFormer Commander of US Central Command andU.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaThe Character, Courage, and Grit... the very DNA of the American Soldier... can be traced back in time to the ’bloody footprints in the snow’ at Valley Forge. The men in this book, through their stories, tell how they carried that Legacy forward with Honor as U.S. Army Rangers and plank holders of the modern era. They epitomize the standards and the vision of General Creighton Abrams at their formation. ’Sua Sponte...Rangers Lead The Way!’ General Peter J.
