Don Feeney

---

The war movies and TV shows of Don Feeney's youth inspired him to join the Army at seventeen in 1970. He started out in the 82nd Airborne but the reformation of the Rangers caused him to go that direction. That was where he was made into a real soldier. (5:35)

"You can't go." Don Feeney was a Green Beret on an A-Team and he had asked his team sergeant about this new unit that was forming, the Delta Force. Well, that just made him more determined to get in on this new unit. After a little recon of the compounds in the area, he located them and inserted himself to become one of the original members.

Don Feeney first went to Sudan to train their counter-terrorism unit along with another Delta Force member. They wrapped up their work and came home to Fort Bragg. Then he was told, pack your stuff, you're going back. Why? Five American missionaries had been taken hostage. You need to go get them. (6:04)

The role for Delta Force in the Grenada operation involved a night assault. They prepped and waited on the runway. And they waited and they waited. Finally, after the State Department was finished messing everything up, they moved out in daylight and their helicopters were badly shot up. Don Feeney's craft had the least damage and they landed to assist the team members who were shot down. (8:23)

After a career as a paratrooper, a Ranger, a Green Beret and a member of the elite Delta Force, Don Feeney retired from the service and started his own consulting company. Their specialty was training security personnel but they developed another service, recovering children who had been wrongly taken by a foreign parent. (6:38)

GEN (Ret) Dan Allyn

He went to hear the West Point recruiter speak because it excused him from a lab but Dan Allyn was so impressed that he thought he might go for it. After his mom revealed a secret about that, he was even more determined. (5:43)

---

After West Point, his first assignment was with the 82nd Airborne. There, as a young Lieutenant, Dan Allyn learned to trust his experienced NCOs and be a sponge as they dispensed wisdom. His unit was training in the Sinai Peninsula when the alert came. Something was happening in Grenada. Where's that? (6:01)

---

The men were so loaded down with their kits and full rucksacks that they had to be helped up the ramp to the plane. Dan Allyn and his men were on the way to Grenada where the fight was already on. The mission? Find the Cubans. (4:30)

---

Life was fine in the 82nd but Dan Allyn was being prodded to apply for the Ranger Regiment by a commander he respected. He did, he was accepted, and it was life changing. He began to learn what leadership was all about. On a personal note, he was made company commander of the same company with which his father-in-law had served. (6:26)

Dan Allyn and his Ranger company were scheduled for leave but they got the alert. You're going to Panama. They departed with winter ice on the tarmac and headed for the tropics. When he parachuted down to the airport they were to secure, he had a hard landing but got it together and began directing the mission. Part 1 of 2. (7:29)
