The legend of Billy Waugh: Special Forces soldier, CIA contractor

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL A legend. We honor his sacrifice, his dedication and all that he gave on behalf of our nation,

“ Roberson said Davis, Waugh and two other Special Forces soldiers led an indigenous company and went to an enemy base camp in Bin Den Provence and destroyed the camp with no issues.
On their way back, they were ambushed by a North Vietnamese army battalion and brigade, he said.
“Throughout that night (there was) combat, hand-to-hand combat, airstrikes, gunfights, 19 hours of fighting. Everybody was severely wounded. Sgt. Maj. Waugh almost lost his leg that night, but the team prevails,” Roberson said. “They destroyed the enemy and they basically pulled everybody out.”
Fenton said Waugh was saved by Davis. Waugh earned the Silver Star for his actions in that battle.”

“ During one of Fenton’s final visits with Waugh, Fenton said, Waugh immediately asked leaders if they were taking care of their men and women in uniform.
" And that’s the last thing he said as we walked out because that was always on his mind,” Fenton said.
Prado said while Waugh was legendary for his exploits, confidence, charm, wit and intellect, he was loved for “his modest and unpretentious interactions with chiefs and subordinates.”
“We will miss Billy’s handshake and his mischievous smile, but our beloved Billy will always be in our hearts,” Prado said. “We will never stop admiring him for his exploits and for his love for his two alma maters, Green Berets and CIA.”
Mulholland said Waugh was born to be a soldier and loved being part of Army Special Forces.
“Billy was true to his essential self and he contributed mightily to the security of the United States as many, many fallen enemies can attest to,” Mulholland said.
During the conclusion of Tuesday’s ceremony, Fenton read Waugh’s dedication to Special Forces soldiers and those killed in action in Waugh’s autobiography: “You’ve been in my life for so long I’ll work at that job until I join you.”
“Billy did it, and so much more,” Fenton said.”
