Welcome to the home of the
First Special Service Force...


or as their enemies knew them...the Black Devils!!!
This Website is dedicated to ALL of the members of the First Special Service Force. From those that died in the field, to those who passed after coming home and to those that still live today.

This site was first started as a memorial to my Grandfather Lt. Col. M. Herbert Goodwin who was a 2nd Lieut at the creation of the force in the Canadian Army and a promoted to a Captain by the Force's end. As the site continued to grow and I saw there was no site for the FSSF Association or anyplace to put the stories of individual force vets, so I took it upon myself to make this site fill that void.

In Aug of 2008 during the FSSFA reunion the site was given the honor of becoming the "Official" site of the FSSF Association. And with that there will be much more to come. Thank you to all who have made this possible.

Did you or your Force relative have your V-42 stolen while wounded or on transport coming home. Maybe it got misplaced or sold later. Now you can have a very well made replica of the greatest fighting knife of all time. Designed by Robert T. Frederick for the First Special Service Force it features a skull-cracker butt cap, double-edged blued blade and a stacked leather washer grip.

Great gift for a vet or a "Force" family member. Could be used for Living History also.
