The 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) will celebrate "Menton Week" the week of Nov. 30 - Dec.5, 2009.
The celebration leads up to the 65th annual Menton Day, which commemorates the inactivation of the combined U.S. and Canadian First Special Service Force on Dec 5, 1944. That unit, commonly referred to as the "Devil's Brigade" during its service in WWII, was one of the first special forces units ever activated, and has a distinguished record of unconventional operations behind enemy lines.
WHAT'S ON TAP: Monday, Nov. 30: Special Forces Family members are invited to a demonstration of U.S. Army special operations small-arms weapons. The event is scheduled to feature activities for Special Forces Family members, including a chance to shoot various special operations small arms.
Tuesday, Dec. 1: At 2 p.m. A combined rendering of honors and wreath laying ceremony is scheduled at the 1st Special Forces Group compound.
Wednesday, Dec. 2: U.S. and Canadian forces are scheduled to conduct a joint airborne operation at Rogers Drop Zone.
