I remember well when the 3 tankers got killed in the roll over. In fact I was the effects officer and had to through their belongings befor shipping it out. Do you remember when the CO - Capt Kenny - of H Co committed sucicide in his office? I was his XO and 60 years later have no idea why he did it and still think I should havae beeen able to see it coming.
I see you were in G Co in Amberg and your name is famailiar. I joined G Co in Apr 52 as 3d Plt Ldr. Lt Lehrner and later Capt Mangrum wre the COs about that time. I dont know if our time in Co G overlapped but I did stayin the 3d Bn till Oct 57 in various Companies. At Fort Meade I was the CO of How Co. In Amberg we lost Cpl Dallas Aynes from Iowa in a half-track turnover. Perhaps you remember that since it did happen somewhere in that time frame. Please let me hear from you - we might have more in common. .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW
Wishing you many more, from all of us at DragoonBase!!!
Tonight, for the first time, I started reading "oldtimer's" comments and saw several mentioning Andrew Hirsch as being in the Gyroscope movment of 1955; so was I. Rub-a-dub-dub, 2,700 men in a tub from Bremerhafen to NYC and then to FT Meade. I was in 1st Howitzer Battery until Feb 1956 when I was discharged from an RA tour.

Glad to read your post.
You got your discharge 6 yrs before I enlisted. I guess that makes me an Old Timer too. I was stationed at Bindlach with the 1st Sqdn. I was a tank driver mostly, but did other crew positions as needed.
Had good times overseas. Wouldn't have missed my time there for anything.
Keep on posting, we ol' guys have to keep the younger ones on the right path.
Yours truly,
Vearl
