The book “Horse Soldiers” chronicles the Green Berets battles in the early days of Afghanistan, made into a movie “12 Strong.”
I’ve got a book the Government Printing Office book detailing the early days when those Green Berets that were sent in. I had the chance to meet one of those Green Berets that went there right after 911. He used to live in Pearland and I did some firearms transfers for him but he has since moved away.
