SFC Brown retired as a CSM and I last spoke in person with him in 1990 at Ft Knox Armor Conference; SSG Collier, I lost contact after 1977, but his assistant SGT Walter Young and I remain in contact to this day. Walter retired as E-6 and leave in Campbellville KY, several years back he lost both legs to diabetes, but he remain in good spirit. I myself retired in 1993 as a MSG/E8. Nice to hear from you and trust that you are doing well.

Toujours Pret Bob,
Welcome to the new DragoonBase, the new Base has plenty of newer features, lots of sub-groups,(ie,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,etc.) and links for 2nd Cav News and History.
Robb Russell has posted some tips for navigating the site (ie,photos,links,ect) in the Forum.
If you need any help, you can contact Robb, or myself, or just yell out, another member may be able to help you.
And our only wish, ‘Keep it clean’, use our Real names/with Pictures(pix from back in the day, work best for searching for Brothers, but any picture will do).
And that you please tell all your friends about the new DragoonBase.
Thanks Again for joining Dragoon Base, and for your service to our great country,
Jesse Kelley
