A
Colt®
Government Model® Honoring Those
Who Served In Southeast Asia
|
Call them Green Berets, SEALS,
Air Commandos, Rangers, Force Recon, and SAS. Beyond these honored
titles, and a handful of others, participants in Special Operations defy
easy description.
Masters of "unconventional warfare," they can't be defined by conventional
terms. For them, "uncommon valor" is a common trait, "unusual risk"
describes the usual workday, and "above and beyond" is part of the job
description.
Today, as America begins to learn and understand more about their
contributions, we at America Remembers are proud to honor these heroic
warriors with the Special Operations Association Tribute Pistol. The
Tribute is decorated with images created in appreciation of all veterans
of Special Operations, and especially the many heroes of the Southeast
Asian conflict. |

The left side of the slide features the inscription, "Vietnam,
Cambodia, Laos," with a map of these three countries below. The bars on either side
represent the red bars on the yellow background of the Vietnamese flag. To the left, a
Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw helicopter, known among special force operatives as the
"Kingbee," unloads a SOG Recon team. To the right is a North American OV-10
Bronco, a support plane which played an important role as an airborne operations and
communications platform calling in air and artillery strikes, extraction aircraft, etc.

On the right side, a team is inserted into the jungle from a hovering Bell
UH-1B Iroquois, known as the "Huey." One team member forges ahead, decked out in
full field gear. Shown in the center is the SOA name and logo. To the right, the team
effects a STABO extraction, grabbed on a "skyhook" by an aircraft overhead and
pulled out on a harness.

| To display your Tribute, we have designed an elegant
luxuriously lined display
case. Included is a brass plaque identifying the pistol as The Special Operations
Association Tribute. |
