U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Samuel Slown, from Clarksville, Tenn., is greeted by retired Col. Robert L. Howard, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, April 7. Slown is a 5th Special Forces Group Soldier – the same unit Howard was assigned to when he earned his Medal of Honor in Vietnam, December 1968. Howard and retired Command Sgt. Maj. Gary Lee Littrell, also a Medal of Honor recipient, were starting their sixth trip to U.S. military installations in Southwest Asia over the last five years, to thank today's military men and women for their service. "Hearing about their experiences offers us a wealth of knowledge," said Slown. "The things they survived paved the way for today's special forces community."
