    Default 2/75 Rangers Recognized in Rare Public Appeareance

    http://www.thenewstribune.com/2012/0...re-public.html

    More than 30 Army Rangers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord received individual recognition Thursday night as their elite and secretive battalion made a rare public appearance.
    The 2nd Battalion , 75th Ranger Regiment gathered inside the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall to hand out awards and honors following it's 14th combat deployment since October 2001.
    It's good to see these guys get recognized publicly.

    Why tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at deaths door?
    The more I know, the more I know I don't know.
    If not you then who?

    Great dudes for sure. I had a squad leader from 2nd Battalion. We received some training from them for MOUT and ran through the shoot house down at Lewis. That was some of the best training I had while I was in. RLTW.

    God bless all our soldiers, and may there always be Rangers to lead the way.
