UPDATES:

New: This web site will now feature a section, on each of the Group Pages, for soldiers who served, or are presently serving, with SF in areas other than S/E Asia.

It's a bit of a departure from the original intent of this web site (and I know, I know, I'm waaay behind as is) but I'm sure this will be of interest to many of the site visitors.

The layout and formatting of these contributions to the site is still unsure. As of now, the information will be posted, in it's own section, at the bottom of that Group's page. If enough information is gathered, seperate sections (and maybe their own domains) will be created. If anyone has any contributions, suggestions or comments, please let me know.

My name is Matthew Dorn. A little about myself. I graduated the "Q" course
in 1994 (as an 18D-medic), served with 1st SFG 1995-2001. I'm currently a
Team SGT in 20th SFG. I served a tour in "A-stan" 02-03 and looks like I
will be going again soon.

A group of friends and I are looking at building a musuem near Camp Mackall.
Which will be dedicated to WW1-today. I will be working of the Special
Forces section. We are looking at the old WW2 USO building in Aberdeen,NC.

I am looking for any information, stories, photos and other items you would
be willing to share.

I'm looking for anyone who knew him there, or a buddy of his, a black S.F. guy named Cosby. After VietNam, they both wound up at Ft. Devens. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
