ATTENTION RANGERS! ARM 2008 SPEAKER ANNOUNCED!
MG Jack Singlaub (Retired), has agreed to be the Banquet Speaker. He will sign any of his books brought to the Muster if you have them. His book is "Hazardous Duty", Simon & Schuster/Summit Books. There may be some sent for the ARM but not assured as yet. For those not fully aware of Jack's background:
He was raised in CA, learned French growing up and when WWII came was recruited into the OSS, jumping in to France. Hearing his accent, the French Marquis asked he keep his mouth shut in public. Winning in Europe, he was among those selected to jump into China to insure safe rescue of American Prisoners of the Japanese at a POW Camp there. Then he was at the beginning of the Ranger Dept establishing the Ranger School and it's modern heritage. Korea and Vietnam where he was CMDR MACSOG. As SOGBOSS he was instrumental providing critical Intelligence and Special Operations expertise for secret operations throughout Southeast Asia during the Sixties. Later he was Key General in Korea during the Carter era where he contradicted the CINC's decision to exit South Korea. One of the very few who are willing to risk career over the right thing to do, he was recalled to Washington to speak directly with the President. Come to this ARM-2008 and find out what was said!
