Wikipedia file for Combat Control

I have opened a Wikipedia file for Combat Control.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:USAF_Combat_Control_Team_(CCT)

I am looking for wide-spread distribution of the URL and lots of input from Combat Controllers, past, present and future. Your assistance in spreading the word would be appreciated. If we do it right, we will be writing our own history book.

Sincerely,
Gene Adcock, CMSgt, USAF (CCT) Retired

Gen. Wayne Downing Passing

Retired four-star Gen. Wayne Downing, the former commander of the country’s Special Forces and the president’s point man for counterterrorism in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, died Tuesday evening after a bout with meningitis, news outlets are reporting. (Peoria Journal Star 07/18/07)


Subject: RE: Gen Downing remarks


Thoughts:

-- a soldier's soldier.

-- former 3rd Rgr BN Cdr, Rgt Cdr, JSOC Cdr, SOCOM Cdr

-- REAL fast burner...started '90s as 1 star, retired from SOCOM in '98as 4 star.

-- Chief Lampe's first boss.

-- Had a great deal of interaction and thought very highly of CCT/ST...was instrumental in getting CCT into the fight in fmr Yugoslavia (Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR, Dec '96) as JTACs...one could ask the question, had it not been for our involvement there, would we have been as involved in subsequent OEF/OIF.

-- A big and sudden loss to the entire SOF community.

Condition of Randy Dykes

All,

Wanted to get the word out on Randy Dykes. Randy underwent open heart surgery on 25th of June. He had a valve replaced through open heart surgery at UNC Chapel Hill.

All went well with the procedure. Then...

Randy's younger brother died 4 days later, and being stubborn like the rest of us, he checked himself out, drove to Mississippi for the funeral, and then collapsed on the way back. He is currently in intensive care at UNC.

Keep him in your prayers
