Hello Michael,
I was stationed in Amberg from Jan 1975 to Aug 1977. K troop Sgt Bristols sheriden tank. I remember I couldn't wait to get back to the states. Now I would love to go back lol.
My name is Glen Graves. Anyway I recognized your name from then so I thought I would say hello
Do you remember me? We spent some time at camp Rotz lifting weights I got the pictures of you shaving Singledecker head.
Cpt. Marcy...retired Col. Marcy and is living in Anchorage, Alaska now. We've exchanged e-mail several times, hoping to have a cup of coffee with him at the end of 2013, or beginning of 2014 next time I'm up North. He is a consultant of some kind now, between the Military and Civilian interests in Alaska. He was an awesome Commander....
Mike,hope you have a Happy Birthday. !!!!!!! Even though you are not in Amberg.!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mike, I was checking out the PNW page and realized there's a former K trp Mortarman living at the bottom the hill down in Sumner. Your tours didn't overlap- I think he got there in 79-80. I got there in Feb 78. I roomed w/ Mike Ioccabucci, Ransom Young, and Charlie Downs. I retired from Lewis & spent ~10-15 years up there bewteen Tacoma, Sumner, and Puyallup.
