Patrick O'Kelley

Triple Canopy Patrick O'Kelley

In the US Army there are only a few men who are able to earn all three tabs worn on the uniform, the Airborne Tab, the Ranger Tab and the Special Forces Tab. Those men are known by many terms, but one of them is Triple Canopy. These are three stories from the career of Patrick O'Kelley, a triple tabber. Airborne - the story of him being a sniper during the invasion of Grenada. Ranger - the story of the loss of a friend during a training accident. Special Forces - the story of operating behind Iraqi lines during Desert Storm.
