See how this works
Gary, do you remember Shadows first name, was it Robert, Roger or something else, 40 years palys with the memory.
I am now retired after 34 years working in NYS prisons as a Lt. I am now hunting,fly fishing, and trapping full time.I live in the Southern Adirondacks. Several weeks ago, I hooked up with Tom Dillard and went to the NRA OutdoorShow inPA.along with anothervet friend whoservedin heavy tanks near Frankfurt. Many years ago, I went to visit Jack Palmer, at West Point. He was there for a while teaching armor tactics to cadets.The last time I saw him was in the 80's and hewas living in Lindenhurst, NY. Haven'tseen him since., how about you.
Gary, I remember you, I was in 3rd Plt, with Withers,Jack Palmer, Tucker, Wright, etc, best years of my life.
Gary, Little John (Gates) from second platoon. I remember you. Seeing names from the past sure brings back the memories. I think I remember Hancock and Lafevor also.
Stay well.
Gary, I seen you were in Amberg the same time I was there. I remember Tucker, he was from Georgia I think, Don was from Minot ND. Do you remember Wayne Damon, Robert Withers, their was a guy named Bush that was from around the same area Tucker was from. I was in the 3rd plt and lived on the third floor. Also looking for a SSG named McKnight
