      OK.  I was in your squad in Nurnberg.  I recently retired from the Army Reserves with medical reasons and took an early out.  I would love to speak with you after all these years.  I am still convinced that you were the single best squad leader I had in my entire military career.  Did you keep in touch with Tinker?  I saw him at Leonard Wood when we were there he was a Drill sergeant.  Id like to chat with him also if that's possible.  I forget his first name.

      I can be reached at my house line at 801-987-8544 or my cell at 801-879-2611

      Id like to try again here in this lil mission I am on.  There was a motto inside of the door and above the CQ desk in Merrill barricks, Nuremberg (Nurnberg).  It was a SAPPER Motto and Id like to get the words and/or a picture.  Thanks to anyone that can help.

      It went:

      We are Sappers _____ _______ ________ ________ we don't build we destroy!
