Howdy Sir, I was Cougar 83c, Medical Platoon Leader's driver, SPC David Roland, during the Battle of the 73rd Easting with you and Lance Logue. Lance and I hung out daily while you guys were in the TOC doing what you officers do....and we did what we drivers did; to keep our sanity. I was making a list of my mentors the other day and yours was listed along with Maj. Macgregor, Col. Steele, Capt. Ireardi ( prob. didnt spell that correctly). I was assign to the best squadron in the regiment from 89-91....obtained my Expert Field Medical Badge, only because of our elite standards, and served proudly with you and CSM Chapman....Thank God for good men and great standards. I wouldnt be the man I am today without role-models like yourself sir. Thank you for your leadership sir! Tourjour Pret!!!!

Sir,

I work at Fort Campbell and operate/manage the twelve MOUT sites and C-IED Lane. I had the chance to retire and go to work here or do yet another tour to Iraq. It is really good to hear from you! I have never been able to find CSM Chapman, but C6D is now MAJ(P) Andrew Mack. Served with the 82nd, 101st and 1st Cav and never found what I was lucky enough to find with 2/2 ACR.

Oscar, nice to hear from you - yes you are right we all have changed over the years, and approaching 66 years seems to come rather quickly - we are living iin Luxembourg for the moment but preparing to move to Florence, Italy in August, of course I am still in Kabul, but am in Stuttgart on business from time to time, would love to stop by and talk old cav rememberences - by the way that picture was taken two years ago, in St peterberg, Russia, warm regards Bob

Thanks so much for the kind words, sir, your wise counsel and enlightened leadership will always be remembered by the youngsters of that day.

I thought I recognized your name. I believe you were our troop commander in those days. I was a young recruit in A troop before going to Bindlach. I hope all is well with you and yours. Regards, Scott
