YGBSM --- All time best acronym by my friend Jack Donovan


May 2, 2016, 9:23 AM

Just google "first in last out wild weasel video" and you can learn more about him and the meaning of the phrase (hopefully the link below works). Jack explains YGBSM at the 4:40 mark. On December 22, 1965, then Captain Donovan and his pilot, in their F-100F, were the first to successfully target and destroy a North Vietnamese SAM site.

The reason this is related to Clemson is because it reminds us why Death Valley is called Memorial Stadium.

Jack passed away just over a year ago.

Thank you! Brings back memories of those days. All the guys I knew were lost in ground operations. Proud we have men like those who served then and are on point at this very minute. God bless them all!

Much used in the military today. Heard almost daily.

"lest we forget"....

as a general statement,

the price of freedom and honor has long since been lost by this country...

and I am not at all just talking about "militarily".
