Vietnam Green Berets S.O.G.Medal of Honor Recipients

I was privileged to receive and listen to this 2-disc set of the stories of the Studies & Observation Group’s Medal of Honor recipients as excellently narrated by former One-Zero of Recon Team Cobra, Keith L. McKim.

Amazing narration and story of the brave men who fought valiantly in Viet Nam. I never realized the extent of their sacrifice and courage. Everyone should listen to this story and realize that freedom is never free but costs the lives of many a brave man!

These are such important stories from our history, it should be required history in high school or college. This audio book is beautifully written and read by the author. He brings these stories to life and the listener can’t help but be caught up. This is a very engaging set of stories very well read. Highly recommend.

Keith McKim has done an excellent job in researching, writing and narrating Vietnam Green Berets S.O.G. Medal of Honor Recipients. The stories of these exceptional men tell of incredible acts of courage, strength and devotion to their country and to the men with whom they served. Great was their faithfulness. Most of us cannot begin to understand what it would be like to walk in their shoes. One of the recipients lived by the following credo: Share your fears with yourself and your courage with others. You will inspire people to do things that are incredible. Keith McKim sums this up to be the true meaning of leadership, and leaders they were. Thank God for our leaders; past, present and future. I recently asked a career military friend if he was ever afraid of going into battle. His response, I was afraid of not getting the job done. What courage and fortitude. There are no words to fully describe the gratefulness felt for the sacrifices made by our military, and their families, for our freedoms. I wonder how many people understand the true meaning of freedom? As Americans we are blessed to be citizens of this great country. Keith McKims Vietnam Green Berets S.O.G. will drive this point home over and over again. God Bless the United States of America. And God bless Keith McKim for sharing the stories of the lives of these great heroes.

You may have read firsthand accounts of heroic deeds selflessly performed by men in combat, but there is something haunting and deeply poignant in Keith McKims narrative of the MACV-SOGs who faced what can only be described as the horrors of war.

If Hollywood would make these stories into movies they would have to edit out half of each story to make it believable. The stories make the fictional character Rambo seam like a sissy.

Used this for one of our family educational days. My boys were fascinated by the stories. Helps them learn to focus with their hearing as well. High recommended. Great story telling and important historical figures to know.

I want to thank fellow CCN recon man Keith McKim for taking the time and energy to produce this audio book on the Green Berets who fought in Americas eight-year secret war under the aegis of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam - Studies and Observations Group, or simply SOG.

In 1962-3, I served in a support role at Nha Trang, South Vietnam. The most respected troops on the air base were the Green Berets or U.S. Special Forces. They were the “force multipliers” in the Vietnam War.

Amazing account of true American Heroes.
