Colonel Martin Strones, USAF retired, distinguished himself with outstanding achievement during the 1968 Vietnam Tet Offensive. The bravery and leadership he displayed while under fire earned him a Silver Star. In addition to this honor he’s been awarded the Vietnamese Honor Medal, Cross of Gallantry with Gold Star and many others.

Following his tour in Vietnam, he rose in the ranks of the USAF Security Forces going on to serve with duties at the Central Intelligence Agency, National Manager of Facilities Security Risk for the FAA, DOE Headquarters in Albuquerque, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pinkerton Government Services, and was Director of Five National Weapons of Mass Destruction exercises. We applaud his significant and lengthy career in service to our nation and are honored to have him be our special guest at the Case Celebration in the Ozarks on September 10th.
