I’m helping a friend write an obituary for her father and I want to get it right. He was an officer in the Green Berets. Her verbiage states “ He was in the Army Infantry, Special Forces, as a Green Beret.”
This doesn’t look right. What’s the proper way to identify his service?

Could specify 5th if so.
You say 5th Group, that needs no further explanation. Well it doesn’t in Clarksville Tn. But...

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

My condolences. My Dad was in the 3rd and 5th Group. We chose to have a closed casket draped with his flag. We displayed his uniform and beret next to the casket. The tough part is getting the beret perfect.

You can also say if he was in ROTC you can say “once graduated from college was commissioned as an infantry officers, went through special forces selection. Then earned his long tab (special forces tab)and green beret”.
