A Clemson Memorial Day: Our hero salutes his heroes
On a beautiful, sun-drenched but cool day in Clemson last week, the hero who doesn’t think of himself as a hero stepped away from his walker and snapped off a salute that would have been the pride of any parade ground in the country. (Photo by Ken Scar) Full Story » |

Thank you for including:
The Cold War – 28
Global War on Terrorism – 3
For many of us, they were continuations of the Vietnam Nam Era, on active duty & as civilians working for DoD. The “Cold War” wasn’t always cold.

grew up in Clemson and went to D.W. Daniel High. He went on to be a highly decorated Helicopter Parent in Vietnam KIA one day after his B'day with only 2 weeks left trying to rescue his Brothers in an ambush. A YouTube is about him called Dogtags and Body Bags, a Tribute to CWO Barry Alexander.
Sam Skardon, a nephew of Colonel Ben is running for a senate seat in Charleston area.

We Clemson Alumni who served in the Armed Forces are humbled by the sacrifice of our brothers and sisters who represent our country and university so well.
I don’t know of anyone who could have written this article better, Mr. Hood. Thank you for writing so often of the things that hold us together at Clemson.
