From the time you walked into the 773 team room to ask if I spoke Spanish to go with Sky King and Tom Parrot to Costa Rica for "Comandante Zero's" demobilization to the signing of my sons "Son Tay" book following his U.S. Army infantry basic training, you touched so generations. As time marchs on, so do our SF brethren march to Valhalla. Rest in peace knowing that you made a difference.

RIP Sergeant Major. You were an inspiration to me when I was a young Captain and Team Leader in 3rd SFG(A) and you were a Company Sergeant Major. It mattered then, and I recalled anecdotes and lessons learned throughout my career, including as DCO of 10th SFG(A). I will see you on the high ground.
Condolences to your family.

SGM Mac, I remember when I was a brand new SF trooper and was assigned to your company in A 3/7 Panama, during my time there I learned so many things from you, which inspired me during my entire career in Special Forces. I was so fortunate that you were my Sergeant Major. You will be missed by all of us! Juan G. Valeriano

SGM Kenneth McMullin was THE epitome of a true Special Forces soldier… PERIOD. Kenny Mac loved his men and always put them before himself. He was not a PC SGM, but he was an “old school” no BS Green Beret. Anyone who was lucky enough to know or serve with him knew that he set the standard for his peers and subordinates to follow. Yes, Kenny was a hero for his exploits in Vietnam, but to me he was an even greater hero because he never sold out for personal gain. I can only speak for myself, but I know others agree, that Kenny was my mentor, my inspiration and the man I most wanted to emulate. I doubt there are too many out there who could fill his shoes. To his family I would like to extend my deepest sympathies for your loss, and my prayers for the pain to subside.
Kenny, I look forward to seeing you again in Valhalla my brother,

I remember one day shortly after I got to B Company, SGM McMullin and the CO came to the team room for a beer just to talk and see what kind of soldier I was. After the CO left, we sat there for a little while longer and just talked and drank beer. Then he left and I continued to study the below the pivot point firing point chart or some such mortar subject. I will always remember him as a leader/soldier who cared about his men. Adios, Sergeant Major--as you said to me last week on the phone.

SGM McMullin was a warrior and hero in any real definition of the term. He was the ultimate "quiet professional." You would never know, unless someone else told you, the times he put his life on the line in service to his country and his "band of brothers." If he saw something was broken, he quietly fixed it. If he saw someone hurting, he quietly healed them. If he saw someone struggling, he quietly helped them. The impact of this soldier's life will ripple through time for years to come. I know as he stood before God, his Commander-and-Chief, he heard the words, "Well done, Green Beret!"
