Connecting the Troopers of Today with the Veterans of Yesterday.

WW II - Cold War History Projects

O.K. troopers, now is your chance to be famous.

I've received a few inquiries recently from authors and journalists who for some strange reason are interested in your stories for books and documentaries they are working on. Information is needed in two specific areas, the first being the end of WW II in the Klatovy, Czechoslovakia area, and the second being our Cold War border duty.

Anyone with stories and information they would like to submit, can leave a message here and I'll hook you up with the people heading these projects.

Thanks for keeping our history alive.

Toujours Pret,
TD

Like firin' a star cluster at someone on guard at Warner, because they were talking too loud after you came back from an FTX and hadn't slept in 3 days? Or do we kind of filter those out?; ▶ Reply to This

I am very interested in making contact with these individuals. I have been interested for some time putting my own book together about the border mission during the Cold War. They may be able to help me get started, and at the same time I may be able to help them with information from Jan 1987- Oct 1988, since I was 1/2 ACR's Border Officer. Thank you for your help.
