I have no idea who Kit Lange is since this it the first article I’ve seen concerning this.
However, I would like to add my two cents worth. Sam Helland & I were in the same squadron when we were 1st lieutenants back in the mid 1970’s. Sam is a “Mustanger”, a Marine officer who was prior enlisted. Sam is a good an officer and as straight a shooter as you’ll find. I would trust Sam to do the right thing, every time.
Glad to hear that he picked up his third star. He’s a good man.
