There had been a controversy regarding the proper entitlement for the retired Sergeant Hack. According to the POW network, the military man was only a specialist while the latter maintained that he was a sergeant first class when he retired from the army. It came to a point where his military records need to be checked or sorted out.
In fact, it was because of this experience with the US Coast Guard that his training as a Ranger was dilly dallied. There was an impending war in Vietnam at that time. They needed men to send to the war but before they could do that, these men needed to be trained.
For someone who is dedicated in his life works, the errors go beyond from insulting to hurtful. Someone deserves to be recognized for his contribution in the military. He is entitled to be rightfully addressed for his true rank in the military.
He started out as a support role in preparing for these young men for the battle that was brewing in Vietnam. You can say that because he has had prior experience working or serving with the US Navy, they did not see the immediate need to train. In fact, his senior officers sent him to assignments that would have been assigned only to trained Rangers or men who have completed the Ranger Training and earned their Ranger Tab.
The thing is that they are fighting for a war that is not theirs. But because they are sons of this country who believes in freedom of the world, they took it upon themselves to fight. They fight the war like it is their own business and help their neighboring countries in putting out a war that threatens to spread to the world.
But as they say, you cannot tarnish a good name that easily. The National Personnel Records Center of St. Louis admitted that they made a mistake in appointing the final rank of the soldier. They said they were mistaken in giving away the soldier's number of service and most especially his rank and place of entry.
As to when or how, only the almighty one knows. When these soldiers come out alive from the war and retire from the service, to give them honor and respect for the service that they did is the least that people could do. You may know what it is like to be at war but you will never know what it is like to be in the war, fighting.
Later representatives from the office of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis acknowledge the error. They admitted they were in the wrong in putting the incorrect final rank of the man. The confusion as to what rank should be accorded to him is not surprising at all given the circumstances that marked his military service but totally inexcusable because the military records office is expected to be knowledgeable and to do the right thing.
That is because of these brave military men and soldiers who chose to spend their life fighting not only for the freedom of this country but for the freedom of this world. When they die, honoring them with their works is the least that this country can do. Give to Sergeant Hack what is due to him.
