Barry W. Slack

Major (Retired) Barry W. Slack, 68, died June 6, 2003, in Shongaloo, Louisiana.

MAJ Slack was a pistol shooter in the 1960 era and earned the U. S. Army Distinguished Pistol Shot Badge in 1961. Slack was commissioned after attending Officer Candidate School and served in Vietnam as a Special Forces Officer.

Those who served with him will remember his broad smile and the ever-present farmer's bandana protruding from his rear pants pocket (civilian clothing, of course).
