Our graduation was the next day in Class A uniform. My graduation was marred by the fact that we lost one classmate 1Lt Tallas Tomeny and almost lost another in a tragic accident that never should have happened. When my buddy who was wounded (18C) got up from his wheel chair and walked across the stage to receive his Beret, we all stood up and started clapping. As we all walked on the stage, General Boykin shook our hands and told each of us "Get ready to go to war". "The Ballard of the Green Beret's" came on and the order came "to don Beret's" and we did.

Thank you for the post. Lt. Tomeny's loss and the serious wounding of your friend was truly a tragedy. A tragedy that left so many questions unanswered. Especially for someone such as yourself... who wears both hats.
Again thanks for your excellent post.
