Ive read all the LRRP books there are to read some three or four times . Ive tried to put names with the pictures that don't have names . I couldn't find a name for the man on the cover of "The Eyes of The Eagle" by Gary Linderer His eyes tell a story in there own. He looks like the man John Kiefel in this video. I think its the receding hairline. Anyway the LRRPS are all heros in my book. Thanks for making these videos and may God Bless you.

You LRRPs had some serious courage. My dad was a LRRP in the 173rd Airborne Division ,74th inf. detachment and close friends with Staff Sergeant Laszlo Rabel, the only LRRP to recieve the Medal of Honor. I recently became very interested in what it was to be a LRRP. After reading many books i have gained a lot of respect for the discipline, courage and team loyalty practiced by all of the LRRPs. Lazlo Rebel is the perfect example of this. He sacrificed his life to save his team. Thanks LRRPs
