  A late thanks for your BD wishes. I think Edward Voke, COL USA Retired has since given a detailed account our time on the border, e.g. a PS guard in the Gates sector, with his AK47. 1/Lt David Armstrong responded I was his "Deputy"......shortly there after a Russian General, at least his uniform indicated so and a an obstacle was set very similar to what we have in San Diego at San Ysidro. JT Tuberty retired as a BG, our Regt. Co Frank B. Clay retired as a MG, he offered me the Assistant S-1 position after I saved an E1 (who had been at least an E-6) from being kicked out of the Army after 19 years of active duty. Merrill Barracks was refered to as the "Stairway to the Stars" I do enjoy relative good health, with the exception of compression of the 3/4 cerv. vert. note my abrev. Take Care TP and Gerry Owen to all who have worn the uniform of the USA. Former CPT, Armor, USAR Dick Rees

  Dick,

  Welcome to Dragoon Base, sir. I'd be very interested in hearing more about Cpt. Vokes' account of border duty during your period. The Cold War era border period was the longest mission of the 2d Cavalry, and is the largest hole in our 2d Cavalry Association's history website.

  This year is the Regiment's 175th birthday, and there are a lot of holes to fill in it's history. Any of them you could plug would be greatly appreciated.
