I didn't serve, but Dad did, and I just can't thank you guys enough. So many take our freedom for granted, while you guys are the ones who sweated and sacrificed so we can have this freedom. My deepest thanks to each and every one of you.

Just shy of 29 years, USCG First time I recall any mention of your service in the CG, yet alone 29 years. Congrats and thanks for your service.

Enlisted US Army 1962-1965.
Basic at Ft Leonard Wood, Oct 1962
No AIT, as such, but due to an emergency upon arrival, became a Battery Clerk at Service Battery,3rd How Bn 16th Arty, Ft Bragg, NC
Went to Europe in Jan 1963 was Co Clerk at Headqtrs Co, 2nd Bn 70thArmor, Augsburg, Germany.
Whereas service life agreed with me, in Oct 1965, when my time was up, I am an E5 now, went home and left military life for good.
I credit my good fortune for the job I had while in the Army to my sophmore year in HS when I took a filler course (typing) to get my hrs up.
Got married in Aug 1966. Still married to same woman.
Thank you all for your service to this country.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

Thanks, Dinny B co 1/502 We was Col Anderson's heavily armed vice cops He came down about month 3 in Mosul to all our platoon outpost Train station city hall and the ministry of wheat Told us all he couldn't rotate us with the rest of the brigade cause we knew the area and too much of a power vacuum would happen if he did. And the reason he put us in city center was because we was his best company in the brigade to begin with. We felt better about chyt after his face to face with us. We both know what happened when the Stryker brigade showed up and relieved us and how they lost control of Mosul Wanting to sit in their vehicles and think they owned ground. I bet we crossed paths.

David P. visited us after our medical PSG lost his leg and was evac'd. Apparently we were the most highly decorated medical platoon in the entire division at the time. 4x BSMs, 1x BSM w/ V device, 1x SS, 2x ARCOMs w/ V device, 6x PH. My PH paperwork got lost before it was presented (never presented) and I've spent the last 15 years trying to locate it. Finally, earlier this year, I resubmitted all the necessary paperwork and it was disapproved due to my injury not being severe enough.
Very unfortunate situation for the Stryker troops. It was hard enough for a brigade to replace a division. We thought we had it bad...
Thanks, Dinny
