Atlantic Shores Retirement Community resident Doris Baker was inducted as an Honorary Member of the Special Forces Regiment -- one of only nine other individuals worldwide to ever receive this designation, recognizing her 20 years of service with the 1/10th Special Forces Group (Green Berets). This honor was bestowed on November 5, 2014, in a Regimental Induction Ceremony by the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School.

Miss Baker served her nation as teacher and principal for the Department of Defense at the U.S. Army Elementary and Junior High Schools in Flint Kaserne, Bad Tolz, Germany, the first overseas assignment base for the 1/10th Special Forces Group Airborne (Green Berets), where she was a mentor, counselor and friend to thousands in the command.

She later assisted in the acquisition of archives for the Airborne & Special Operations Museum, and has kept the legacy of the 10th alive, speaking to various military groups, Doris’ experiences of living among the first Special Forces Group in Europe served as the basis for her book “The Originals” -- the first book about the Green Berets ever written by a woman.
