I announced winner in this post and a new post Tuesday. Edited Title today and Sent PM(31 May)
WINNER Is #7 Sgt. Jefferies. PM me with your mailing address an I'll get it to you this week. Thanks Everyone for your service.
In Honor of those who served and gave their all. This Karma is for VETERANS AND ACTIVE DUTY ONLY Please! Memorial Day I will draw a number corresponding to your post # to determine winner, announcing in this post on Tuesday.
A newly released book will be mailed to the winner of this giveaway.
"A Tiger Among Us" A Story of Valor in Vietnam's A Shau Valley
It is autographed by Medal of Honor Recipient, U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major, Ret. Bennie G. Adkins and the Author.
Excerpt from Citation-
During the thirty eight hour battle and forty eight hours of escape and evasion, fighting with mortars, machine guns, recoilless rifles, small arms, and hand grenades, it was estimated that Sergeant First Class Adkins killed between one hundred thirty five and one hundred seventy five of the enemy while sustaining eighteen different wounds to his body. Sergeant First Class Adkins' extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, Detachment A-102, 5th Special Forces Group, 1st Special Forces and the United States Army.

S&W ucla & others, again, Memorial Day is to remember & honor those that have died on the fields of battle for our country so we can be free! Someone needs to explain the difference between Memorial Day & Veteran's Day.
