Today in SF History: December 12

Today in Special Forces History:

1974: Then-SSG Jon Cavaiani awarded MOH for action on on 4 July 1971. I would later serve under then-SFC Cavaiani in 10th SF Group; he'd go on to serve as the command sergeant major for the unit commonly known as Delta before retiring. An outstanding guy who still works to better people's lives in California.
