Re: Ranger Sydnor
This was posted in Fallen Rangers which is a locked thread. Many of us were involved or knew COL "Bud" Syndor, I wanted to take the opportunity to open it up. I was in the Advanced Course at Benning when he was the Director of the Ranger Department, and I had the good fortune to see several of his presentations on Son-Tay. He was unique, and it was an honor to know him.
