I attended the 81st anniversary of the founding of Darby’s Rangers in Northern Ireland. As usual the hosts were tremendous (I previously attended in 2017) and fun was had by all.

The 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment sent 10 Rangers to the ceremony and they took my shit very well. They did us all proud. Hooah! RLTW!

SF Officer (ret.) Roy Murray Jr (son of same named Darby officer), Major Erickson and me… Erickson is smart, well-versed and has a dry sense of humor… perfect for me to abuse him… He took it very well as did the other Battboys. Terrific Rangers.
