Happy Holidays from the 720th STG
Special Tactics family-
Happy Holidays from the 720th STG. Thank you and your families for all that you are doing.
As I write this, yet another year has passed w/ our Nation at war and many of you deployed w/ no near term relief in sight. In fact, as we may draw down in some places, we will most likely fill the gaps and seams in other places around the world. You have done nothing less than an amazing and magnificent job and I know that will be the case as we go forward. I ask for your continued patience and support, as you have heard many times over, this is a marathon as opposed to a sprint.
Each and every one of you and your family members are important, so please take the best of care over the holidays, be careful and come back to us safely. We need absolutely each and every one of you. As you already know, "one" person makes a difference in our business.
For those of us that can take a little time-off and purge -- please do so and enjoy and relish every minute... you earned it. But never forget why we are here and as you read this -- that we have men and women diligently serving down range protecting our freedoms and our way of life. They (you) serve quietly and faithfully as their families sacrifice back here.
Bottom line -- thanks for all you do and for a great year. You are most appreciated. HooYah and all my best-
TN

Ron Holder Passed Away
Ron Holder, CCA LM-129
Died on 14 December, 2008; after a battle with cancer.
Former Marine
Member of the starting class of Combat Control School at Sewart AFB, TN (65-1)
Was an instructor at Combat Control School when it was at Little Rock AFB, AR.
Stationed at Lockborne, Little Rock and I think Sewart. Also was on the Viet Nam team.
Don’t quote me but I think he retired as a TSgt. May have made Master; I don’t remember so well anymore. I’ve attached the same picture I sent out before but this one has been cleaned up a little by “JC” Cummings.

Combat controller's actions epitomize the ethos of special tactics
War Story: Combat controller's actions epitomize the ethos of special tactics
by Master Sgt. Dennis Brewer
352nd Special Operations Group
12/2/2008 - RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Staff Sergeant Robert Gutierrez, Jr., an Air Force Special Tactics Combat Controller assigned to the 352nd Special Operations Group at RAF Mildenhall, deployed to Afghanistan in early January 2008.
During one of many missions, Sergeant Gutierrez was on patrol searching for a high-value target when his Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha team was ambushed.
Traveling along a mountain road, his team's convoy took insurgent fire from the right of their position as they neared a bridge -- across from the compound they were to search.
