Thanks as always to Ted Cooley,
I was saddened to notify you that I received an email from JoAnn Winn on this past Wednesday, to notify me that MAJ(R) Jim Winn suffered a heart attack and passed quickly on Sunday, Jul 2. Please keep his family in your prayers.
Jim Winn Yes, was in the old HHD 3/20 SF unit at Craig field Armory, in Jacksonville.
He is being cremated and she will be keeping his ashes. There will be no formal services, just a family gathering.
Jo Ann told me “You may send an announcement to the group, if you like. Don't know who is left that may remember him. Thanks again for your friendship with Jim. I know he loved his guard buddies...JoAnn”

SPECIAL FORCES PRAYER
Almighty God, who art the author of liberty and the champion of the oppressed, hear our prayer.
We the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon Thee in the preservation of human freedom.
Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved.
May we ever remember that our nation, whose motto “in God We Trust,” expects that we shall requit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men.
Grant us wisdom from Thy mind, courage from Thine heart, strength from Thine arm, and protection by Thine hand.
It is for Thee that we do battle, and to thee belongs the victor’s crown.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and glory forever, AMEN.
