“The Green Berets”
May 26, 2022
SFA Members,
Many of you will be involved with Memorial Day activities/events this weekend as we honor those that that paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the military to defend this great Nation. It is great to be part of a Brotherhood that honors these sacrifices and clearly understands the impact this loss has on Family, loved ones, teammates, and friends. You represent the SF Regiment well while visiting with Gold Star Families to remember their Hero or by participating in parades, local Memorial Day events, and other activities that honor these sacrifices. At cemeteries around the world, you place flags near the grave, a coin on the headstone or toast your former teammates and friends with their favorite drink to remember that positive impact they had on your life.

SFA National will be honoring all the SFA and SF Alumni who have passed away in the previous 12 months by reading their names at Charlie Mike's Pub on Monday, May 30 2022 at 2:00 p.m. (1400 hrs for you hard chargers). If you are in the area, please stop by Charlie Mike's Pub, 195 Starpoint Drive, Fayetteville, NC 28303. We will raise a toast to those that are no longer with us. Light appetizers will be provided.
Please keep the Families of Uvalde, TX in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days, weeks, and months as they struggle with the grief and pain of losing 19 children and 2 teachers this past week. Remember that life is fragile so hug your Family a little closer, make time to connect with those you keep saying you will but haven't, take that trip you keep promising, or make the time to do something that is meaningful to you and your Family. We are all given 24 hours each day, spend them wisely.
Stay safe as you spend time with your Family and friends this weekend. Remember all those that are currently deployed as they continue to provide security for all of us. God Bless the United States of America. DOL

If the thought comes to mind that what you are about to do isn't a good idea,...it probably isn't a good idea! Cheers
