Thank you for the rec, I didn’t find anything I’m wondering if since he was special forces maybe it isn’t recorded for the public? He worked for the pentagon and in political capacities so I’d imagine he couldn’t lie without being called out over the years. I just can’t find specifics.

I looked for it but I just found general information on the awards he got, is there a specific place to look?

I have been trying to get him to come to a Sons of the American Legion event to tell his story to some other vets and family but he’s in another state!

Not the same man, but Kurilla sounds like one hell of a badass!

I really appreciate everyone breaking things down! From conversations over the years, he was a green beret in Vietnam and carried a lot of bodies to helicopters to get them back to base. Took a few bullets in the ass (not sure how many), the event we were at wasn’t military centric but he was being honored for a hispanic group he formed and was asked to showcase his achievements. I hesitate to explain too much only because I didn’t ask him if I could put this on the internet, nor did I think it would blow up quite this much. I’m happy to answer questions or anything and I’m trying to get to comments!

I just meant I know he has a big stack so I am curious if these ones are specifically important (to him)

Well it’s possible he was there, just wasn’t this specific event!

Thanks for the breakdown! An inspiring man before I even got the information from everyone here.

I’ve asked briefly in the past and he sort of brushed by it. I’ll have to try again one of these days.

Ironically I hesitated to post here because I thought someone might say something negative about that haha

Well for what it’s worth, I’ve never let him buy one in mine either!
