This is the second of two episodes with Dale Hanson, discussing his book, Born Twice: Memoir of a Special Forces SOG Warrior.
Dale Hanson is an accomplished sculptor who has led a life of adventure and enjoyed numerous accomplishments. He is a black belt martial artist, author, a pilot of fixed wing and glider airplanes, has flown aerobatics and is a Special Forces underwater diver. He is a disabled veteran and a member of MENSA.
During the Vietnam War, Dale was highly decorated Green Beret who served three years as as a commando in the famous MACV-SOG program, whose mission involved extremely dangerous raids far behind enemy Ines. This unit received more decorations and suffered higher rates of casualties than any American unit since the American Civil War. On one of those raids, Dale earned the first of serval purple hearts as his right hand was mangled by a burst of machine gun fire. It s ironic that he became a sculptor, a field in which one’s hands are so critical.
